NIST Cybersecurity Framework Training:

NIST Cybersecurity Framework Training workshop Course (Online, Onsite and Classroom Live)

In February 2013, the President of the United States issued Executive Order (EO) 13636, “Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity.” In response to this mandate, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) was tasked with development of the Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity, more commonly known as the Cybersecurity Framework. Although it was designed specifically for companies that are part of the U.S. critical infrastructure, many other organizations in the private and public sectors, including federal agencies, are using the framework as a helpful tool in managing cybersecurity risks.

This NIST Cybersecurity Framework Training Workshop covers each of the three NIST Cybersecurity Framework components: the framework core, the framework implementation tiers and the framework profiles.

Executive Order (EO) 13636, “Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity,” was issued to “enhance the security and resilience of the Nation’s critical infrastructure and to maintain a cyber environment that encourages efficiency, innovation, and economic prosperity while promoting safety, security, business confidentiality, privacy, and civil liberties.”

The order provided a mandate to establish a voluntary common framework for cybersecurity defense, now known as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
