The NIST Cyber Security Professional (NCSP) Training Program

The NIST Cybersecurity Professional (NCSP) training curriculum was created in partnership with UMass Lowell (UML) a NSA/DHS National Centre of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defence Research (CAE-R).

The curriculum was designed to train the engineering, operations and business teams responsible for operationalizing the NIST Cybersecurity Framework controls and management systems (ISO 27001 etc.) across the university's five campuses.
