A technical, implementation-focused course on NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0, covering core concepts, functions, categories, subcategories, profiles, governance, implementation tiers, and integration with existing security, risk, and compliance practices. The course emphasizes how to interpret CSF 2.0 and apply it in real environments through hands-on labs, templates, and mapping to existing security controls and processes.
Intermediate security analysts/engineers, IT risk/compliance staff, and security practitioners with some familiarity with cybersecurity concepts or other frameworks (e.g., NIST, ISO, CIS controls) who want to practically implement and govern NIST CSF 2.0 in their organizations.
Establishes the context for NIST CSF 2.0, its purpose, scope, changes from prior versions, and how it fits within the broader cybersecurity and risk management ecosystem.
Explains why frameworks exist, where NIST CSF 2.0 fits among other standards, and when organizations choose CSF 2.0 over or alongside others.
Introduces the main structural components of CSF 2.0 including Functions, Categories, Subcategories, Implementation Examples, Tiers, and Profiles.
Includes LabCovers all CSF 2.0 Functions in detail, including Categories, Subcategories, and their relationships to typical technical and governance controls.
Explores the Identify Function, emphasizing asset management, business environment, governance, risk assessment, and supply chain considerations.
Includes LabDetails the Protect Function outcomes related to access control, data security, awareness and training, and protective technologies.
Includes LabCovers detection-related outcomes, including continuous monitoring, logging, anomaly detection, and threat detection processes.
Includes LabExplores incident response and recovery outcomes, including planning, communications, analysis, improvements, and restoration activities.
Includes LabFocuses on the governance and risk management enhancements in CSF 2.0, and how to use Implementation Tiers to assess and communicate maturity.
Deep dive into governance-related outcomes, including roles, policies, oversight, and integration with enterprise risk management.
Includes LabExplains how Implementation Tiers provide a high-level measure of risk management practices and how they can be applied practically.
Includes LabTeaches how to construct, interpret, and maintain CSF 2.0 Profiles (Current, Target, and specialized profiles), and how to use them for gap analysis and roadmapping.
Introduces CSF Profiles, their structure, purpose, and types of profiles organizations may create.
Guides learners through data collection, evidence review, and scoring methods to build a realistic Current Profile.
Includes LabShows how to define a Target Profile aligned with risk appetite and business goals and how to derive actionable gaps and priorities.
Includes LabExplores how to integrate CSF 2.0 into existing security and compliance programs and map CSF outcomes to other standards and control sets.
Demonstrates mapping between CSF outcomes and major frameworks to minimize duplication and support unified compliance.
Includes LabShows how CSF 2.0 can be used as a backbone for security operations, project planning, KPIs, and reporting to management.
Includes LabCapstone module where learners apply the entire CSF 2.0 methodology end-to-end for a case-study organization, from scoping through roadmap creation and communication.
Walks through how to initiate a CSF 2.0 program, including defining scope, stakeholders, timelines, and success criteria.
Includes LabSynthesizes all course content in an integrative project for a single case-study organization or environment.
