NIST

Cybersecurity demands a balance between a network that can be accessed legitimately and one with as few exploits as possible. This NIST Cybersecurity & Risk Management Frameworks training explains how the United States government does it, and how to apply that framework to your system.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology was tasked by Congress in 2002 to protect federal systems from malicious actors while simultaneously preserving the availability of those systems and staying in compliance with other state and federal regulations. Considering the sheer variety and number of systems in the government, NIST developed the Risk Management Framework as a platform-neutral process that can apply to any system.

It's simple at a high level, with just seven steps. This training, which is available with lifetime access, goes deeply into those steps. Developed by the team at iCollege, one of the most respected technical training companies with a 4.39 out of 5 star average rating, you'll learn about these steps from people who've implemented them.

First the training will discuss how to properly categorize your system, before moving into controls. Under the framework, controls need to be selected from those approved by NIST, implemented, assessed, and monitored, and the training team will discuss what that means and how it applies. 

Once the system is authorized, the training explores how to find and limit risks, including what standards you should apply and how the process functions through the lifecycle. It's a useful framework both for compliance with state and federal regulations, and for managing risk on private networks.

Whether you work for the government, have the government as a client, or simply need to standardize your cybersecurity approach, risk management frameworks are a useful tool. This NIST Cybersecurity & Risk Management Frameworks training shows you what you should know for $39, a 86% discount.
