Government officials in federal agencies, where adherence to NIST RMF is crucial, will find this resource especially useful for implementing and managing cybersecurity risks. A basic understanding of cybersecurity principles, especially risk management, and awareness of IT and network infrastructure is assumed.

This publication provides guidelines for applying the Risk Management Framework (RMF) to federal information systems. The six-step RMF includes security categorization, security control selection, security control implementation, security control assessment, information system authorization, and security control monitoring.

Risk management is a key element in any organization''s information security and privacy program. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides a Risk Management Framework (RMF) that outlines a process for effectively managing organizational risk. In this course, learn how to implement the NIST RMF to help your organization categorize and effectively manage your security and privacy program throughout the system management lifecycle. Instructor Ronald Woerner provides an in-depth look at each of the seven steps in the NIST RMF process, covering everything from how to prepare for a risk-based approach to security to how to monitor and assess security controls in a system on an ongoing basis. Along the way, he demonstrates how each step is applied in the real world by providing a case study.

The book provides the complete strategic understanding requisite to allow a person to create and use the RMF process recommendations for risk management. This will be the case both for applications of the RMF in corporate training situations, as well as for any individual who wants to obtain specialized knowledge in organizational risk management. It is an all-purpose roadmap of sorts aimed at the practical understanding and implementation of the risk management process as a standard entity. It will enable an "application" of the risk management process as well as the fundamental elements of control formulation within an applied context.

This is a high-level overview of the NIST risk management framework process for cybersecurity professionals getting into security compliance. It is written in layman's terms without the convoluted way it is described in the NIST SP 800-37 revision 2. It goes into what the information system security officer does at each step in the process and where their attention should be focused for security compliance. Although the main focus is on the implementation of the NIST 800 RMF process, this book covers many of the main concepts on certifications such as the ISC2 CAP.

Draft NIST SP 800-37 Revision 2 - 9 May 2018 This publication provides guidelines for applying the Risk Management Framework (RMF) to information systems and organizations. The RMF includes a disciplined, structured, and flexible process for organizational asset valuation; control selection, implementation, and assessment; system and common control authorizations; and continuous monitoring. It also includes activities to help prepare organizations to execute the RMF at the information system level. Why buy a book you can download for free? We print this book so you don't have to. First you gotta find a good clean (legible) copy and make sure it's the latest version (not always easy). Some documents found on the web are missing some pages or the image quality is so poor, they are difficult to read. We look over each document carefully and replace poor quality images by going back to the original source document. We proof each document to make sure it's all there - including all changes. If you find a good copy, you could print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people (typically its either out of paper or toner). If it's just a 10-page document, no problem, but if it's 250-pages, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour. It's much more cost-effective to just order the latest version from Amazon.com This book includes original commentary which is copyright material. Note that government documents are in the public domain. We print these large documents as a service so you don't have to. The books are compact, tightly-bound, full-size (8 1⁄2 by 11 inches), with large text and glossy covers. If you like the service we provide, please leave positive review on Amazon.com. Without positive feedback from the community, we may discontinue the service and y'all can go back to printing these books manually yourselves. For more titles, visit www.usgovpub.com
