Cybersecurity Curriculum
The McGrail Foundation is refining a Cybersecurity & IT Administrator 101 Curriculum and Open Source Textbook currently teaching it to interns and college auditors. The curriculum closes a gap in the current cybersecurity teachings by providing a laboratory practicum to provide the crucial practical, hands-on experience to support the success of graduates pursuing cybersecurity careers. Designed as a 16-week lab working with real clients on real-world incident responses, analyzing live data from partner data centers, building an individual cyber range, and learning Ethics/Rules of Engagement/Conflict of Interest handling to solve real problems.
KAM Ruleset
The KAM Ruleset is a set of Apache SpamAssassin rules developed and used on our systems. This ruleset has been in active use and development since May 2004 and provides a significant boost to the performance and efficacy of a stock installation of Apache SpamAssassin.
