The course includes hands-on activities such as developing a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy, conducting risk assessments, and simulating incident response procedures—practical skills applied in real-world environments. While the training does not rely on cloud consoles like AWS or Azure, it emphasizes real-life case studies and group discussions to reinforce the application of NIST CSF in enterprise settings, particularly for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
