NAVSEA Navy Control System Cybersecurity 101

Every day, NAVSEA 00I receives communications from the Navy Cyber Defense Operations Command identifying spills of sensitive data, successful phishing attempts, access to malicious websites, and downloading of suspicious or malicious files… on Navy computers… by personnel who have completed the Annual Cyber Awareness Challenge. Heightened awareness and continued implementation of good Cybersecurity hygiene are needed to reduce these activities. NAVSEA Cybersecurity 101 is an introductory-level course designed to supplement the DoD Cyber Awareness Challenge. This training is organized into three modules: 1. The Cyber Battlefield identifies the basic components which are targeted by cyber attacks, such as digital data, computer hardware, operating systems and programs, the Internet, and networks (wired and wireless). 2. Security Tools identifies tools that are utilized to defend against cyber attacks. 3. Cyber Operations discusses specific cyber attacks and defenses against them.
