As discussed in the segment titled Cyber Programs and Roles, in today’s tech environment it is critical that organizations be pro-active and prepared when considering cyber risk management. Because of the size, complexity, and constant evolution of attack vectors there is no one-size-fits-all way to respond. it is essential to begin somewhere to establish a baseline for identifying the critical components that must be incorporated into any cybersecurity risk management approach.
Multiple risk management frameworks have been introduced including:
- NIST: National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) established by executive order in February 2013.
- ISO/IEC Security Control Standard: developed by the International Organization for Standardization and the International Electrotechnical Commission
- FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessment – developed for Financial institutions by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council
- SEC/OCIE Cybersecurity Initiative – developed for brokers by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations
- FCC Cyber Security Planning Guide – developed by the Federal Communications Commission for small businesses
- Although their organization and structures vary, all frameworks attempt to address the same basic functions designed by the NIST Cybersecurity Framework:
- Identify
- Protect
- Detect
- Respond
- Recover
In this course we evaluate several attributes critical to the proper establishment of a cyber risk management program. We delve into the concepts and apply thoughts as to how each component should be evaluated for your organization. The course utilizes the NIST framework as a guide for application.

This course continues to build on the basics established in the first two courses. I like this certification learning plan - I can see my overall understanding of Cybersecurity improving, and the bite-sized sessions enable me to retain the information I’m learning.

This is my 3rd training class with Lynn Fountain and this is my first entre into Cyber Security which I find fascinating. I'm very pleased that Lynn is teaching this class. She is an excellent instructor.

(owner at M. Ward Smith, Inc.)
It is hard to put these concepts into an overall diagram. It seems like there should be one in the material that interrelates all concepts with hierarchy or that segregates them into separate context.
Peter Addison

An example of the application of the framework would greatly enhance this course, otherwise a useful exposure to the key elements of the NIST standard.
