The Applying the CNSS/NIST Risk Management Framework In-Depth 3 Day Course equips the student with an overview of the system authorization process (also known as C&A) and the Risk Management Framework (RMF) for National Security Systems (NSS).
In addition to the classroom instruction, the student will also participate in several scenario-based hands-on exercises in the implementation of the RMF to provide a clear knowledge bridge to the revised system authorization processes for those currently working with C&A for National Security Systems or for those who have limited or no C&A experience. These exercises will include the development of Systems Security Plans (SSPs), Security Assessment Reports (SARs), and Plans Of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms) for a NSS. This course meets the requirements of National Security Directive 42 (NSD-42), which outlines the roles and responsibilities for securing NSSs. The CNSS In-Depth Course will address the Federal and Intelligence Community requirements, including NIST SP 800-37, NIST SP 800-39, CNSS 1199 (DRAFT), and CNSS 1253 (DRAFT).
Students will receive a CD with comprehensive set of National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) – DoD approved templates, as well as copies of the guidelines, instructions, standards, and presentations discussed during the training. You will also receive a copy of the book, The Definitive Guide to the C&A Transformation co-authored by Dr. Julie E. Mehan and Waylon Krush.
Every student participating in the Applying the CNSS/NIST Risk Management Framework In-Depth 3 Day course will receive a National Security Agency (NSA) and Committee on National Security Systems (CNSS) NSTISSI 4011 Certificate for successful participation in the course, which will allow you to add the CNSS/NSA 4011 designation to your resumes.
