Course Curriculum
The SENTINEL Project provides two separate courses, based on the needs of the participants.
Instruction for both tracks combine lectures,
class discussions, and computerized simulations and exercises.
This class is designed primarily for
public safety employees who assist or maintain computer and network
operations for their organization. Subjects include detection (e.g.,
anti-virus programs), interdiction (e.g., passwords, system patches,
firewalls), critical infrastructure protection (e.g., e-mail attachments,
program downloads and installation, back-up policies, file and folder
security), and information sharing (e.g., secure transfer of XML data).

Prevention, Deterrence, & Recovery Course Description.
This class is designed primarily for technical investigators
and first responders. Students will be taught techniques to trace intrusions
back to their source, methods for dealing with malicious computer viruses
and Trojans, and what governmental agencies can provide as assistance
and resources. As part of a class exercise, real world examples and
problems will be stored on servers for the participants to investigate
in order to acquire real-world, hands-on training. Some of the subjects
for this class will include log collection and analysis, network forensics,
IP tracing, digital interception, technology laws, network security,
and digital interception.
