Security for the SMB: Implementing the NIST Framework

English | 1h 23m | Video 720p | Subtitles

Cybersecurity incidents impact organizations of all sizes, in all sectors.  Small and medium businesses (SMBs) may not have the same infrastructure or resources for security, but face the same risks. In this course, Ron Woerner explains how to secure SMB assets, systems, and networks, leveraging the five functions of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework—identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover—as a scaffold for creating a robust cybersecurity program. Learn how to identify your assets and necessary levels of access, set up defenses such as firewalls and encryption, monitor your systems, create an effective incident response plan, and use backups and cloud services to ensure you can recover and resume operations as quickly as possible.

 

Topics include:

 

Cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities

Building a cybersecurity program

Creating an inventory of critical assets

Writing security policies and procedures

Network defenses

Personal and physical security

Establishing a response plan

Response testing and training

Backup and recovery
