Risk Assessment & Management Training for the US Government
This NIST Cybersecurity Framework training course will teach US Government cybersecurity staff to protect their organisation from unacceptable losses by effectively assessing and managing risk. In addition, they will learn how to employ the NIST Cybersecurity Framework defined by The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and ensure their organisation meets the cyber security laws and regulations imposed on all US Government agencies.
Attendees receive a complete set of course notes and a workbook containing all of the course workshops

Going through the process of identifying, analysing and evaluating risk. It helps to guarantee that the cybersecurity controls you are choosing are suitable for the risks your organisation may face.
NIST is only used in the United States, and provides a policy framework for computer security guidance on how private sector organisations can assess and then improve their ability to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber attacks.
