Learn the fundamentals of cybersecurity with this training bundle deal

When building an IT system, balancing the need for security against resources and other needs can be a major challenge. The NIST Cybersecurity & Risk Management Frameworks Training explains federal government standards, how they're developed, and how to implement them.

In 2002, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) was issued a Congressional order to determine how to best protect government systems from hackers and other malicious actors, keep those systems available to both government workers and the public and do all this while complying with all relevant state and federal regulations. NIST developed the Risk Management Framework as a platform-neutral set of approaches and tools to meet these goals.

At its most basic, there are seven steps to take, yet complexity lurks in implementing each effectively. This training was designed by the handpicked trainers at iCollege, one of the most respected technical training companies with a 4.39 out of 5-star average rating, to show you how each step works and to move through it while maintaining security and accessibility.

First, you'll learn how to categorize your systems, creating an order that can easily be followed. Then, you'll focus on controls from those approved by NIST. There's an in-depth discussion of implementation, assessment, and monitoring of controls.

Once your controls are in place, the training then turns to the management and analysis of risks. Learn what standards you should use throughout the lifecycle of a product or process. You'll also learn compliance with state and federal regulations, and how to manage changes to regulations within the framework.

Regardless of whether you work for public organizations or a private company, these risk management frameworks create a shared place to analyze systems and implement fixes. The NIST Cybersecurity & Risk Management Frameworks training shows you what you should know for $39, 86% off the $295 MSRP.
