Cyber Protection Professional™ (CPP)™

The mission of the Cyber Protection Professional (CPP) is to use the methodologies and processes of "Blue Teams" to proactively secure and defend information assets. CPP members are highly skilled and versed in the tools, techniques and procedures to identify, protect and evaluate information systems and supporting technologies. CPP teams perform various tasks related to protecting information and information systems such as verifying network base-lines and systems configurations, performance evaluations of anti-virus and intrusion detection systems and architectures, performing host-based assessments identifying vulnerabilities and anomalies that are outside of established base-line configurations and provide recommendations for and in some cases persistent monitoring of network performance. CPP team members develop and implement incident response plans and develop and apply risk mitigation strategies that enhance the overall security, defense and recovery posture of the network.
