Course Overview
Implementing the NIST Cybersecurity Framework Using COBIT® 5 is a two-day workshop designed to help participants understand the context and nature of cybersecurity risks and how to manage these risks using the NIST Cybersecurity Framework together with COBIT 5. ISO/IEC 27000 is also covered in this course. So if you are already using that standard or interested in applying it as an overall IT Security Management System, this course will be relevant as well.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the course objectives and content, exam requirements and learning approach.
- Understand the context of cybersecurity: the risks, the challenges in managing these risks, and the benefits of aligning the NIST Framework, ISO/IEC 27000 and COBIT 5.
- Understand an overview of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, COBIT 5, and ISO/IEC 27000.
- Understand the objectives and scope of the ISACA Guide and how to use it to implement Step 1 - Prioritise and Scope.
- Understand how to use the ISACA Guide and to implement Step 2 - Orient and Step 3 - Create a Current Profile.
- Understand how to use the ISACA Guide and to implement Step 4 - Conduct a Risk Assessment and Step 5 - Create a Target Profile.
- Understand how to use the ISACA Guide and to implement Step 6 - Determine, Analyse and Prioritise Gaps.
- Understand how to use the ISACA Guide and to implement Step 7 - Implementation Plan.
- Understand how to use the ISACA Guide and to implement an Action Plan Review and Manage the Lifecycle.
Target Audience
This course and exam is aimed at individuals who have a basic understanding of both COBIT 5 and security concepts, and who are involved in improving the cybersecurity program for outside organizations or their own.
Why choose this course?
