NIST Cybersecurity Framework - ISG370

Overview

In the US, NIST is the de-facto standard for security, compliance, and privacy. If one is doing business with the US federal government, managing critical infrastructure, or maintaining personally identifiable information (PII), they 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, learners 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. We teach learners how to 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.
