Risk Management FundamentalsUnderstanding risk management is the foundation of effective cybersecurity strategy. Before diving into the CSF, it’s critical to grasp:✓ What risk management is and why it matters✓ Key terminology to help you speak the language of cybersecurity✓ The risk assessment process—identifying, evaluating, and mitigating risks✓ How risk management principles align with the NIST CSF
Introduction to the NIST Cybersecurity FrameworkThe NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) is one of the most widely adopted cybersecurity guides today. This session will cover:✓ What is cyber resilience? Why is it critical?✓ How does the NIST CSF differ from other frameworks and certifications?✓ Where is the NIST CSF used? Exploring its applicability across industries✓ Key characteristics of the framework
Breaking Down the NIST Cybersecurity FrameworkWe'll explore the core structure of the CSF and how organizations use it to enhance security posture and compliance:✓ The history and evolution of the NIST CSF—why it was created and how it's changed✓ The Framework Core—breaking down its essential components✓ The Six Functions—Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover, and the new Govern function✓ Profiles and Tiers—customizing the framework to an organization's needs✓ Categories & Subcategories—granular elements that make the CSF actionable
