Course details
In today's hyperconnected world, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for organizations to stay ahead of cyber attacks. Not only do you have to prepare for the risks you know about, but you also have to be prepared to handle the risks you don’t see coming. This course explains why cyber resilience—the ability to continuously identify, respond, and recover swiftly from a security incident—is an effective approach that organizations should focus on as a cybersecurity program. Instructor Tia Hopkins shares the knowledge, tools, and strategies you need to develop and implement a more resilient security program. She offers a comparison of cyber resilience, cyber defense, and cybersecurity frameworks to help you understand the unique characteristics and outcomes of each. Tia also looks at cyber resilience through the lens of NIST and the ability to anticipate, withstand, recover, and adapt to cyberattacks. Gain invaluable insights into effective strategies to safeguard against cyber threats.
