The Risk Management Framework (RMF) provides a disciplined, structured and flexible process for managing security and privacy risk that includes information security categorization; control selection, implementation and assessment; system and common control authorizations; and continuous monitoring. It includes activities to prepare organizations to execute the framework at appropriate risk management levels.

These concepts will help you identify and evaluate security risks for an organization’s cloud environment, understand fundamentals of the cloud computing architecture framework, understand security challenges associated with different types of cloud services, select and implement appropriate controls to ensure secure cloud services and walk you through an overview of key concepts of the 6 essential core domains of the CCSP Common Body of Knowledge. If you are interested in studying for the certification exam, be sure to check out the full CCSP learning path!

The Risk Management Framework (RMF) provides a disciplined, structured and flexible process for managing security and privacy risk. It includes information security categorization; control selection, implementation and assessment; system and common control authorizations; and continuous monitoring. It includes activities to prepare organizations to execute the framework at appropriate risk management levels. This learning path explains the RMF steps and its processes (aka tasks) which link essential risk management processes at the system level to risk management processes at the organization level.

This learning path provides you with the knowledge and skills necessary to pass the latest version of the Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) exam. As you progress through nine courses tied to the six CCSP domains, you’ll learn key cloud security concepts and design requirements, operational and infrastructure security related to the cloud, and the unique challenges around data security, applications and legal risks. Upon completion you’ll be prepared to earn your CCSP certification and validate your cloud security knowledge.

This learning path will help you to build a basic understanding of NIST cybersecurity fundamentals. You will learn about the RMF process and managing risk by identifying, assessing and responding to risk. Additionally, you will learn how to use the framework to assess an organization’s cybersecurity risk and the steps to implement or improve a cybersecurity program.
