CSDA training course: learn the principles of using a data encryption solution

This certification course will give you the essential knowledge to deploy and administer the Stormshield Data Security Enterprise (SDSE) solution. Comprising presentations and practical labs, it will enable you to master the Stormshield Data Management Center (SDMC) administration console, configure security policies to ensure optimum protection for all your company's data (email, cloud, local, server) and maintain the SDSE solution.

Following this training course, you will be able to master the concepts of cryptography, install the Stormshield Data Security solution, secure local data and collaborate securely both internally and externally. Data encryption will be an open book to you! This skillset is enhanced by our Stormshield certification.

If you are a systems and security administrator, project manager, or IT and support technician: this course is for you!

At the heart of CSDA training

The structure of the course includes both theory and practical exercises. Two methods are offered: in-person courses, either at Stormshield's offices or the client's offices, and online courses, including interaction with an instructor via videoconferencing and over the Airbus CyberRange platform for practical exercises.

You’ll receive course support consisting of a theoretical component, practical work (Labs) and marking. To help you put the course theory into practice, you’ll have a full technical environment at your disposal. And you’ll be able to keep your expertise current for three years by downloading updates to the course material in PDF format on our Stormshield Institute platform.

CSDA: certification at your fingertips

Provided you pass the final exam at the end of the course, obviously! You sit the exam online (1 hr 50 mins, 50 questions). The passmark is 70%. The exam is automatically available on the day following the end of training, for a period of three weeks, at the Institute’s website.

In the event of failure, or inability to take the exam within this time slot, a second and final exam opportunity automatically opens immediately afterwards for a duration of one additional week.

Re-certification

In common with all good software, you’ll need to update your network/security expertise before the third anniversary of your certification. You can do this using our online re-certification kits, which allow you to renew your certification for an additional three years.

As the e-learning, these re-certification kits are not considered training sessions.
