Description
This introductory course provides participants with the overall concepts of cross domain solutions (CDS) for the Government of Canada (GC). Training is based on the principles and practices detailed in the Information Technology Security Bulletin, ITSB-120: Cross domain security primer. This course focuses on the business requirements, security considerations and processes when there is a need to share information across different security domains. This includes the threats to implementing these processes and a description of the CDS components, software and hardware which mitigate these threats. Following the course, participants will be familiar with CDS business requirements, threats to information sharing, mitigations to threats using CDS guards and components and a basic understanding of CDS architectures.
