New LMS

by Admin User -

Greetings, everyone. This is the updated Moodle LMS. We will be migrating selected courses across to maintain historical continuity, but we will also be cleaning up various aspects of the old server, such as the test banks.

There are some differences in the interface with the older (version 4) Moodle, so if you notice something not working as expected, PLEASE submit a ticket!

Technical

Commercial Signature Reduction (CSR) is focused on delivering advanced commercial best practices for Digital Data Protection techniques facilitating safe virtual online operations. CSR training programs are designed to enable students to meet Electronic Security (ES), Signature Reduction (SIGREDUX), Digital Identity Management (D-IDM) and Digital Operational Preparation of the Environment (D-OPE) requirements. CSR courses utilize hands-on practical scenarios and instruction on various methods, techniques and tradecraft where learning new skills is the focus, as opposed to the technology or tool. The CSR curriculum is uniquely designed to provide students with cutting edge best practices that have proven success in facilitating creative problem solving, reducing digital exposure, and honing SIGREDUX skills to mitigate what others can see. We have supported and are providing this training to Fortune 100 companies, elite Special Operations Units within the Department of Defense (DoD), Law Enforcement Agencies, and Intelligence Community (IC) partners.
