NIST Cybersecurity and Risk Management Frameworks

Standards for security, compliance and privacy

In the US, NIST is the de-facto standard for security, compliance and privacy. If you are doing business with the US federal government, manage critical infrastructure, or maintain personally identifiable information (PII), you must be compliant with NIST standards.

NIST provides the Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and Risk Management Framework (RMF) to guide organizations on securing their infrastructure, systems, and data. In this course, you will apply the NIST Cybersecurity and Risk Management Frameworks to better protect their infrastructure, detect possible cyber incidents and appropriately respond and recover should they occur. You'll become well-versed in the NIST CSF and RMF, how to implement them, and ways to effectively manage CSF & RMF processes for optimal security, privacy and compliance.

This course provides an overview of the NIST Cybersecurity and Risk Management Frameworks and their application. Organizations may require additional industry-specific knowledge and specialized guidance to tailor these frameworks to their unique needs and compliance requirements.

Upon completing the course, participants should have the knowledge and skills necessary to assess, implement, and enhance cybersecurity practices within their organizations using the NIST Cybersecurity and Risk Management Frameworks. They will be equipped to make informed decisions regarding risk management, establish appropriate controls, and respond to cybersecurity incidents in a proactive and efficient manner.
