Foundation Course

About Course

The Foundation course introduces the fundamentals of cyber resilience, distinguishing it from traditional cybersecurity and operational resilience. Participants explore key frameworks such as NIST 800-160 v2 and the MITRE Cyber Resilience Engineering Framework (CREF). We cover topics like architecture principles, business impact analysis for technology, and threat modeling, followed by control selection methods aligned with NIST, MITRE, CIS, and SCF.

Course Curriculum

Foundation Course Module 1 – Cyber Resilience Concepts
On this module, we will cover the following topics: an introduction to Cyber Resilience (including a brief history and its differences from other related terms), an overview of best practices (NIST 800-160 v2: "Systems Security Engineering: Cyber Resilience", MITRE CREF: "Cyber Resilience Engineering Framework"), cyber resilience supporting disciplines (NIST 800-34: "Contingency Planning Guide for Federal Information Systems", NIST 800-61: "Computer Security Incident Handling Guide", NIST 800-115: "Technical Guide to Information Security Testing and Assessment"), alignment with frameworks (NIST 800-30: "Guide for Conducting Risk Assessments", NIST 800-37: "Risk Management Framework for Information Systems and Organizations"), and an overview of techniques and approaches in NIST 800-160 v2.

Foundation Course Module 2 – Cyber Resilience Strategy
On this module, we will cover the following topics: a deep dive into best practices (NIST 800-160 v2, MITRE CREF), the goals and objectives of cyber resilience, strategic design principles, architecture principles, the structure of a cyber resilience blueprint, the definition of critical assets, and an overview of the High Value Target methodology. Additionally, we will introduce threat modeling for critical assets and its alignment with cyber resilience engineering principles. Finally, we will explore an example of a best-in-class cyber resilience risk strategy (blueprint), strategy materials for explaining cyber resilience, sample slides for the operating model deck, and illustrative cyber resilience roadmaps.

Foundation Course Module 3 – Cyber Resilience Controls
On this module, we will cover the following topics: an overview of control selection approaches based on the NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF), the definition of defensive controls and their importance within a cyber resilience strategy, an overview of the most reputable control sets available (NIST, SCF, CIS, ORF), a deep dive into selected NIST and SCF control sets, alternative approaches to selecting controls (MITRE CREF, MITRE Impact Tactics), and an overview of the mapping between NIST and MITRE controls and adversary tradecraft.
