The Building & Optimising Incident Response Playbooks Course, the third from CM-Alliance to achieve the NCSC certification, focusses on creation of NIST-compliant Playbooks
London, July 22, 2021: Cyber Management Alliance, the recognised independent world leader in Cyber Incident & Crisis Management consultancy and training, has launched its NCSC-Certified Building and Optimising Incident Response Playbooks training course. This is the third course from CM-Alliance to receive the coveted UK-Government's National Cyber Security Centre’s accreditation.
The course, targeted at both technical and non-technical audiences, enables learners to create NIST-compliant, fit-for-purpose and immediately usable incident response playbooks.
The Playbooks training course is a follow-on from CM-Alliance’s flagship Cyber Incident Planning & Response course - also the first course to be certified by the newly-rebranded NCSC’s certified training scheme, provided by APMG International.
The course, delivered as an eLearning workshop or as a Virtual Classroom training, is beneficial for both individuals and organisational teams. Some of its key benefits include:
Amar Singh, CEO & Co-founder of Cyber Management Alliance as well as the course creator said, “Having a consistent, repeatable and auditable Incident Response Playbook is invaluable when an organisation is under attack. Building a Playbook that’s effective and based on the NIST Incident Response guidance is the main focus of this course.”
The Incident Response Playbooks Training Course offers 12 deeply-engaging modules to students, designed specifically to cover this topic. The course boosts learning with several exercises and bonus content including playbook templates, workflows and more.
Kim Rose, Information Governance Officer, Wye Valley NHS Trust, shared her experience with the training: “I would strongly recommend this training to anyone who is involved in Cyber Security or has control of information assets.”
Bal Rai, Co-founder and Managing Director of Cyber Management Alliance added, “We are pleased to have received the prestigious NCSC certification for yet another one of our courses. We’re committed to bridging the gaps in organisational cyber resilience with our highly specialised training programmes. Our objective is to train audiences, both technical and non-technical the world over, in developing effective strategies for cyber incident response. With the launch of the Playbooks course, we’ve inched another step closer to this goal.”
