Our Risk Management Framework (RMF) V2.0 for DoD/IC Course is a 4-day comprehensive deep dive into the Risk Management Framework prescribed by NIST Standards, with a focus on how this is implemented within the Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Communities (IC).
During this course, the knowledge and strategies provided will allow the attendees to accurately and effectively apply cost-effective and appropriate security controls based on risk and best practices.
This course is current as of March 2019. It was revised due to NIST producing new and updated publications over the preceding two years, including SP 800-37, rev. 2; SP-800-53, rev. 5; SP 800-160, V1 and V2; and SP 800-171, rev. 1 (among others). It was also revised due to additional DoD updates to DODI 8510.01.

The Risk Management Framework provides a process that integrates security and risk management activities into the system development life cycle. The risk-based approach to security control selection and specification considers effectiveness, efficiency, and constraints due to applicable laws, directives, Executive Orders, policies, standards, or regulations.
This RMF course was created by a security expert with more than 30-years’ experience. As the creator and professor of the first graduate computer security course as adjunct faculty with a major Ivy League university, he served in the military for over twenty years and was a project manager for the NSA for five years.
This course is updated with the most relevant content to ensure your move to RMF is successful. This course may also be used as a certification preparation for (ISC)²'s CAP program.
