DECODE introduction and its application

The DECODE (Del-Cid, Education on Cyberpsychology, OSINT, DFIR and Evaluations) framework is a tool that assists humans and machines investigate suspicious and deceptive tactics, technqiues and procedures by humans and machines such as Artificial Intelligence, deep fakes and traditional off-line social engineering deceptive tactis. The framework leverages research created by Julio Del Cid, the author a computer scientist, ex law enforcement (digital forensics and incident response) and cyber security consultant.

Originally aimed at law enforcement officers, security researchers, and legal professionals dealing with cybercrime this has expanded to the entire cyber security teams (red, blue, purple, orange, white, green, yellow teams). This course is an introduction to the framework, the application and how everyday people can use this reference guide as a way to aid their critical thinking skills.

Can you explain what pathways are?

 

Pathways are a logical set of courses that will give you enough knowledge that we deem you to be an expert.

 

Our definition of an expert:

  • Element 1. An expert is a highly qualified individual with deep knowledge and extensive experience in a specific cybersecurity or AI domain. They possess advanced theoretical and practical skills, often holding a Master's degree or Ph.D. and having 10+ years of experience.
  • Element 2. Experts at Cyber Camp can serve as expert witnesses in legal proceedings, where they can be cross-examined by the legal jurisdiction and questioned by another expert. They can also participate in peer-reviewing processes, evaluating the work of others in their field.
  • Element 3. Experts have added to human knowledge by publishing articles that can serve the community to secure its residents.

 

 

What do the badges mean?

Each badge is explained below. 'Industrial Cyber' is used as an example and changes within the domain you specialise in.

Domain Certified badges:

  • Awarded to someone who has completed a course on a topic or domain
  • Example fundamental knowledge in industrial cyber security
  • Equivalent to a technical college Advanced Diploma level or Associate Degree

 

Foundations badges:

  • Awarded at the completion of a domain's body-of-knowledge (BoK)
  • Foundational knowledge is required for further advanced and expert knowledge as foundational branches into deep-dive learnings
  • Foundational BoK is highly recommended knowledge for further courses 
  • Equivalent to a Bachelor degree subject 

Intermediate badge:

  • Awarded to deeper, more complex BoK topics
  • Requires hands-on knowledge, such as table top exercises, lab completions, and have an examination element
  • Aligned with theoretical knowledge with BoK such as with reputable certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CISA and its equivalent
  • Hands-on experience with deep dive technical knowledge
  • Equivalent to a post-graduate certificate-level subject

Advanced badge

  • Similar to intermediate but deeper dive complex topics
  • Requires hands-on knowledge, such as tabletop exercises, lab completions, and have an examination element

  • Aligned with theoretical knowledge with BoK, such as with reputable certifications such as SANS Institute and its equivalent
  • Equivalent to a PhD degree subject
  • Automatically qualifies you to be a corporate trainer

Are these badges worth anything?

Of course, they are, let us highlight the following points:

  • The real value is the knowledge you gain throughout the course when you apply the skills in the cybersecurity industry to defend real world information systems/ industrial control systems, a technical interview with indepth questions/challenges and, academic research and everyday knowledge.
  • These badges signal to the world you have completed a body of knowledge and to some employers may be that unique skill they need. Skills badges are often published on websites like LinkedIn and are seen by hiring teams as potential candidates, opening opportunities for you and your team
  • Some examples:
    • Example 1: For many cyber security roles, it is expected you know the CIA triad its counterpart, the DAD (Disclosure, Alteration, Denial) triad and provide examples of case/case law and how to mitigate each threat 
    • Example 2: For Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC) roles, it's expected you know about the NIST Risk Management Framework, which has special publications and RMF documentation over 900 pages. We shorten this lengthy learning curve to just hours or days for paths.
    • Example 3: Industrial control systems security engineers, are expected to know indepth ISA/IEC 62443, industrial networking protocols, ISO 27001, ISO 27002, GDPR, and your local laws as a minimum. 
    • Example 4: Executives are expected to know the kind of threats, and risk occur on a frequent basis making sure no loss to stakeholders whcih includes knowing how to reduce insurance premiums by applying an aaceptable level of risk that reduces premium costs and secures the organisation from breaches which protect assets not covered by cyber insurance. 

Keep in mind that a badge is a far distant second place to the knowledge and hands-on experience you will gain.

How do your courses work?

Each course is a stand alone unit, designed to fufill a knowledge/skills gap that is not readily available.

You can each course as a standalone unit, or in a series such as in a pathway expert, see the "Badges and Pathways" tab for more information.

Access to course materials: 

  • A single courses grants you access to the course material for one year from the purchase date. Unless you have earned at minimum a 'Foundations' badge.   
  •  Lifetime membership is granted to :
    • Code Camp Experts
    • Pathway students who earn a Fundamental, Intermediate and Expert badge 

Why do some courses have different pricing?

Different courses have different rates, because of the unqiue research and skills required to develop them. Some courses have access to different resources and may cost more than others. At the time of publishing the current * pricing is 

  • Foundational $199
  • Intermediate $299
  • Advanced $499
  • Expert $899

*For most accurate pricing see plans page. 

Why are some so expensive and others are not?

'Cheaper' courses are foundational knowledge and we feel all members of the workforce need to have. Compared to other areas such as advanced and expert courses, where we hired specialists, researchers and required specialist equipment to record the findings for you.

We also compare the quality of intermediate, advanced, and expert courses with that of reputable training institutions such as SANS Institute. Feel free to compare the courses, and reach out to us if we do not fulfill this claim, our team can map out the learnings.

Keep in mind that a typical SANS course will cost in excess of USD $10,000 to obtain, whereas our expert pathway will likely be under USD$1,750. We as does SANS graduates are required to perform hands-on exercises, comprehend a BoK in a technical domain using the latest cutting edge, know how.
