This course provides an in-depth exploration of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and Risk Management Framework (RMF), crucial for managing cybersecurity risks in any organization. You will start by examining the history and structure of NIST, its collaboration with other agencies, and its role in shaping cybersecurity practices. Through comprehensive modules, you will learn to navigate the NIST CSF Core, Tiers, and Profiles, and apply these frameworks to assess and manage cybersecurity risks.
As the course progresses, you’ll dive into key risk management elements, including risk vocabulary, categorization, and control selection. You’ll gain practical skills in conducting Business Impact Assessments, establishing security policies, and implementing controls, all reinforced through case studies and real-world scenarios.
The course concludes with advanced topics like incident response, digital forensics, and business continuity planning. You’ll gain hands-on experience in managing cybersecurity incidents and mitigating risks. By the end, you’ll be prepared to utilize NIST frameworks to protect organizational assets, ensure compliance, and foster a proactive security culture.
This course is designed for cybersecurity professionals, IT auditors, and risk management practitioners who have a basic understanding of information security principles. Familiarity with cybersecurity concepts and terminology is recommended but not required.
