Communities face an increasingly complex and evolving cyber threat landscape that no single organization can address alone. A resilient cybersecurity posture requires a whole community approach, where key organizations—including government, critical infrastructure, and private sector partners—work together to assess and strengthen their collective capabilities. This course brings stakeholders together to build shared understanding and coordinated strategies for reducing cyber risk.
Participants will learn to develop a comprehensive community cybersecurity profile, assess risks, benchmark current capabilities against recognized frameworks, such as the Community Cyber Security Maturity Model (CCSMM) and NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and identify gaps in both plans and training programs. The course emphasizes practical application through focused activities that help participants analyze their community’s cybersecurity posture and determine where training shortfalls exist.
By the end of the course, participants will have developed a prioritized action plan or roadmap to begin addressing those training gaps and improving overall community resilience.
