Digital business value is something every employee is responsible for securing every day. Cybersecurity is an intrinsic aspect of digital business value and must be factored into an organization’s strategy and culture.

Following on from the learning secured during the NIST Cybersecurity Professional (NCSP®) Foundation Certificate course, this online self-paced course outlines current cybersecurity challenges, and explains how organizations who operationalize the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) across an enterprise and its supply chain can mitigate these challenges using the NIST 800-53 standard as an informative reference.

Access to this course lasts for 12 months allowing students to complete the course based on their schedule.

NOTE: Completion of the NCSP® Foundation Certificate course is a prerequisite.
