NIST is the abbreviation for National Institute of Standards and Technology, which was mandated by Congress to create a framework for government agencies that was vendor-neutral and applicable across a wide range of organizations. The result was a risk management framework that's still used today and underpins a wide range of cybersecurity approaches.

The course takes you step by step through the risk management framework, or RMF. First, you'll learn how to prepare your organization to make use of the framework and teach your organization to properly manage risk. Next, you'll be trained in categorizing your systems and the information they contain. Once you have that information, you'll apply it to select and implement specific controls developed by NIST. Then you'll close the loop by getting trained in how to assess the effectiveness of controls, authorize your systems, and monitor how they work, before moving back to the preparation step as your organization updates its gear.

Risk management frameworks are powerful tools both inside and outside IT. This 21-hour cybersecurity course shows you how these functions for $39.99, $120 off the $160 MSRP.
