Overview
Cyber Ops Consulting LLC develops and delivers federally aligned cybersecurity curriculum and workforce training programs designed to strengthen the nation’s cyber defense posture.
We specialize in creating mission-focused learning content that bridges academic education, operational readiness, and industry certification standards — empowering tomorrow’s cyber workforce.
Our programs align to NIST NICE Framework (SP 800-181r1) and DoD 8140 to ensure that participants gain not only technical proficiency but also role-based competencies mapped to the DoD Cyber Workforce Framework (DCWF).
Core Capabilities
1. Cybersecurity Curriculum Development
Cyber Ops designs and authors customized cybersecurity training material for academic institutions, government partners, and defense-related organizations.
Our curriculum covers both foundational and advanced domains — from incident handling to industrial control system (ICS) protection — and is mapped to NICE/NIST learning objectives.
Curriculum Portfolio Highlights:
- Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) – Offensive operations, enumeration, and exploitation techniques
- Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) – Evidence acquisition, analysis, and chain-of-custody practices
- Certified Incident Handler (ECIH) – Response playbooks, containment, and recovery methodologies
- PenTest+ – Penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, and report standardization
- Protecting PLC, ICS & SCADA Devices – Defense strategies for operational technology environments
- Security Operations Center Roles & Responsibilities – SOC procedures, log analysis, and event correlation
Each curriculum is built for delivery under contract education or government workforce development, ensuring instructional rigor, measurable outcomes, and certification readiness.
2. Workforce Development and Readiness
We design and execute Cyber Workforce Readiness Programs that align directly to NIST 800-181r1 (NICE Framework) and DoD 8140 Work Role Categories, supporting both military-civilian transition and federal upskilling initiatives.
Key Training Outcomes:
- Role-based competency mapping to DCWF (e.g., 441 – Network Operations, 651 – Forensics, 661 – Infrastructure Support)
- Foundational through advanced proficiency levels
- Hands-on labs using real-world incident scenarios and open-source intelligence tools
- CMMC and RMF integration across course objectives
3. Guam Critical Infrastructure Curriculum (Developed 2024)
Cyber Ops developed a comprehensive set of cyber readiness training materials for the Guam National Guard Cross-Functional Team as part of a DHS RFI submission.
The curriculum included modular lessons, lab guides, and assessment tools focused on protecting Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources (CIKR), particularly for the energy, water, and transportation sectors.
Although the instruction was not ultimately delivered, this material demonstrates our firm’s curriculum engineering capability and readiness to support national resilience and infrastructure defense missions.
Key Modules Included:
- Incident Response for Critical Infrastructure Operators
- ICS/SCADA Threat Detection and Response
- SOC Integration with CIKR Systems
- Threat Hunting and Network Anomaly Identification
4. Instructional Delivery and Certification Preparation
Our instructors bring real-world operational experience and recognized professional certifications to the classroom — ensuring each training experience is both authentic and technically rigorous.
Programs can be delivered on-site, virtually, or in hybrid format, leveraging Cyber Ops’ secure cyber range and sandbox environment for controlled exercises.
Certifications Covered:
CompTIA (Linux+, Security+), EC-Council (CEH, CHFI, ECIH, SOC Analyst, ICS/SCADA), ISC² (CISSP), and LPI (LPIC-1).
