Course Description

The NIST Privacy Framework courseprovides students with an understanding of how to implement privacy protections into their services and operations and products and handle and manage privacy risks. Although many security professionals are familiar with cybersecurity best practices, privacy issues can present different challenges based on products or services that potentially violate privacy, varying approaches to managing privacy risks, and an ever-changing regulatory landscape.

Course Goals

By the end of this course, students should be able to:

  • Understand why the NIST Privacy Framework was developed and created
  • Demonstrate knowledge of the NIST Privacy Framework Core
  • Demonstrate knowledge of the NIST Privacy Framework Profiles
  • Demonstrate knowledge of the NIST Privacy Implementation Tiers
  • How to Adopt the NIST Privacy Framework (Ready, Set, Go) – Hypothetical Use Cases
    • * Compare the NIST Privacy Framework to other Privacy Frameworks

    Instructor
    Desarie Green

    The Certifications I hold include Certified Information Privacy Professional - US (CIPP/US), GIAC Information Security Fundamentals (GISF), GIAC Law of Data Security and Investigations (GLEG) and Certified Compliance and Ethics Professional (CCEP).

    I grew up an Air Force brat, and I obtained by BA from University of Southern California. I then obtained my JD from Western State University College of Law, and an MS from Full Sail University. I have been a licensed attorney for 12 years, but I have been working in risk and compliance for 7 years. I also have multiple certifications because I love learning and growing my knowledge base in my field. In my spare time, I love movies, cooking, traveling, and spending time with friends and family.

    I’m interested in cybersecurity because of how cybersecurity and privacy intersect. Cybersecurity is necessary to put controls in place to protect the personal data that companies collect from their customers. As we move to the internet to do almost everything from banking to shopping, cybersecurity is more important than ever.

    Success from Our Learners

    "Cybrary really helped me get up to speed and acquire a baseline level of technical knowledge. It offers a far more comprehensive approach than just learning from a book. It actually shows you how to apply cybersecurity processes in a hands-on way"

    Don Gates

    Principal Systems Engineer/SAIC

    "Cybrary’s SOC Analyst career path was the difference maker, and was instrumental in me landing my new job. I was able to show the employer that I had the right knowledge and the hands-on skills to execute the role."

    Cory

    Cybersecurity analyst/

    "I was able to earn my CISSP certification within 60 days of signing up for Cybrary Insider Pro and got hired as a Security Analyst conducting security assessments and penetration testing within 120 days. This certainly wouldn’t have been possible without the support of the Cybrary mentor community."

    "Becoming a Cybrary Insider Pro was a total game changer. Cybrary was instrumental in helping me break into cybersecurity, despite having no prior IT experience or security-related degree. Their career paths gave me clear direction, the instructors had real-world experience, and the virtual labs let me gain hands-on skills I could confidently put on my resume and speak to in interviews."

    Cassandra

    Information Security Analyst/Cisco Systems

    "I was able to earn both my Security+ and CySA+ in two months. I give all the credit to Cybrary. I’m also proud to announce I recently accepted a job as a Cyber Systems Engineer at BDO... I always try to debunk the idea that you can't get a job without experience or a degree."

    Casey

    Cyber Systems Engineer/BDO

    "Cybrary has helped me improve my hands-on skills and pass my toughest certification exams, enabling me to achieve 13 advanced certifications and successfully launch my own business. I love the practice tests for certification exams, especially, and appreciate the wide-ranging training options that let me find the best fit for my goals"
