Teaching you how to Engineer & Operationalize a cybersecurity program based on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
The NIST Cyber Security Professional (NCSP) Training Program
The NIST Cybersecurity Professional (NCSP) accredited training program teaches organizations how to rapidly design, operationalize and automate the NIST Cybersecurity Framework informative reference controls and management systems required to deliver the business outcomes expected by executive management, government regulators and industry auditors.
The NCSP accredited training programs teach organizations how to:
– Assess an organizations cybersecurity capabilities in order to understand its current cybersecurity state
– Design a cybersecurity program using NIST-CSF informative reference controls to realize its future cybersecurity state
– Implement & Operationalize a Continual Implementation & Improvement Management System (CIIS) to automate, sustain and continually improve its future cybersecurity state.
For IT, Cybersecurity, Risk Management Professionals
NCSP courses teach the knowledge, skills and abilities to assess, design, implement, operationalize and continually improve the controls, management systems and workforce skills associated with a NIST Cybersecurity program.
