NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF) - FOR BEGINNERS

Learn the Risk Management Framework (RMF) and master the security assessment and authorization (A&A) process in this comprehensive course! Whether you're new to cybersecurity or looking to solidify your understanding, this course breaks down complex concepts into easy-to-understand steps.

We start with the fundamentals: understanding enterprise networks and the infrastructure required to support them. No prior knowledge is necessary! We'll demystify terms like FISMA compliance and build a strong foundation.

Then, you'll learn how to:

• Draft a System Security Plan (SSP): Develop a robust plan to secure your systems.
• Assess the SSP: Evaluate the effectiveness of your security plan.
• Document your Plan of Action & Milestones (POA&M): Create a roadmap for addressing security vulnerabilities.
• Submit your Authorization Package: Successfully complete the authorization process.

This course takes a practical, real-world approach. You'll be immersed in a simulated work environment, working alongside the instructor as a security analyst on a system A&A project. This hands-on experience maximizes information retention.

We understand that security compliance can be dense, so we've incorporated humor (yes, even dad jokes!) to keep you engaged and focused.
