Using the Community Cyber Security Maturity Model (CCSMM) to develop a cybersecurity program will enable community leaders, network/security personnel and those individuals involved in developing or maintaining plans used for and throughout the community. This course assists participants to understand what is required to develop a coordinated, sustained and viable community cybersecurity program. The course introduces participants at all levels to the DHS-supported CCSMM and can be used to guide communities and states in developing their own CCSMM-consistent cybersecurity programs. Participants are introduced to different resources that can be used for a community program. Commercial courses, policies, technology and services that should be considered in a cybersecurity program will also be touched upon.

Students will learn what is required to develop a coordinated, sustained and viable community cybersecurity program and the resources available to assist in improving awareness, information sharing, policies and plans.
