Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.

This comprehensive course is designed forcybersecurity professionals, IT risk managers, and CISM aspirantswho aim to master the principles ofInformation Security Risk Management. Fully aligned withCISM Domain 2, this course provides a detailed understanding of how toidentify, analyze, evaluate, and respondto information security risks within modern enterprise environments.

Throughreal-world scenarios, case studies, and globally recognized frameworkslikeNIST SP 800-30,ISO/IEC 27005, and theFAIR model, you’ll learn how to apply a structured and strategic approach to risk management. The course focuses on both conceptual clarity and hands-on implementation, preparing learners forreal-world cybersecurity leadershipandCISM certification success.

You’ll gain an in-depth understanding ofrisk identification and classification, learning how to recognize and categorize risks across organizational processes, assets, and technologies. You’ll exploreinternal and external threat analysis, understanding how human errors, insider activities, cyberattacks, and environmental factors contribute to enterprise risk.

The course also covers essentialrisk assessment and analysis methodologies, guiding you through qualitative, quantitative, and hybrid models used to evaluate the likelihood and impact of risks. You’ll develop skills to build and maintain arisk register, performgap analysis, and apply internationally acceptedrisk treatment and control frameworksto mitigate exposure effectively.

You’ll master the concepts ofrisk ownership, monitoring, and communication, learning how to assign accountability, track risk metrics, and report effectively to stakeholders and executives.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to design and implement arobust information security risk management programthat supports business objectives, strengthens compliance, and enhances organizational resilience against evolving cyber threats.
