Course Overview:

This class will provide an overview of Cybersecurity Capability Maturity Model (C2M2) v1.1, a model that organizations can use to evaluate, prioritize, and improve cybersecurity capabilities. This model is a common set of industry-vetted cybersecurity practices grouped into 10 domains and arranged according to maturity level. An evaluation tool allows organizations to evaluate their implementation of the C2M2 practices, resulting in a score for each domain. Scores can then be compared with a desired score as determined by the organization’s risk tolerance for each domain. The model is also valuable for internal and external benchmarking.

The original model was established as a result of White House efforts to understand and improve cybersecurity capabilities and posture in the electricity subsector.

The class will cover:

• The 10 domains of the model:
1. Risk management
2. Asset, change, and configuration management
3. Identity and access management
4. Threat and vulnerability management
5. Situational awareness
6. Information sharing and communications
7. Event and incident response, continuity of operations
8. Supply chain and external dependencies management
9. Workforce management
10. Cybersecurity program management

• The four maturity indicator levels
• The organizational survey and scoring tool
