Requirements
Welcome to a world of opportunity, where risks become stepping stones to success. Introducing our course, “Mastering Risk Management: From Strategy to Execution.” In just a few short modules, you’ll gain the essential knowledge and skills to navigate the dynamic landscape of risk.
The NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF) is a structured and systematic approach developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to manage cybersecurity risk within organizations. It provides a framework for organizations to identify, assess, respond to, and monitor risks associated with the operation and use of information systems.
The NIST RMF consists of a set of guidelines, standards, and best practices that help organizations establish a proactive risk management process. It emphasizes the importance of integrating risk management into the system development life cycle and promotes continuous monitoring and assessment of security controls.
