NIST Training FAQs
-
What is cybersecurity risk assessment?
Going through the process of identifying, analysing and evaliuating risk. It helps to guarantee that the cybersecurity controls you are choosing are suitable for the risks your organisation may face.
-
What is the NIST Cybersecurity Framework?
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.
-
Can non US Goverment employees take this course?
Yes, any one who is interested in NIST training may register to take this course.
-
Can I learn about the NIST Cybersecurity Framework online?
Yes! We know your busy work schedule may prevent you from getting to one of our classrooms which is why we offer convenient online training to meet your needs wherever you want. This course is available in class and live online.
