Nuclear Cybersecurity Controls Assessment

5-Day Workshop

SecureInfo Corporation is pleased to offer the Cybersecurity Controls Assessment 5 Day Workshop. This intense workshop introduces attendees to the NIST guidance that NRC used to develop the RG 5.71 Cybersecurity Controls and subsequently was incorporated into NEI 08-09, Rev 6. The roles and responsibilities of your Cybersecurity Assessment Team (CSAT) members are covered in detail. Workshop attendees are then taught the NIST assessment philosophy, including activities/tasks required for pre-assessment, assessment, and post-assessment of the cybersecurity controls.

Cybersecurity Control Assessment Workshop attendees are introduced to the level of effort that is required for licensees to provide high assurance that digital computer and communication systems and networks are adequately protected against cyber attacks, up to and including the design-basis threat (DBT). Attendees are taught the importance of a Security Assessment Plan (SAP); and then shown, step-by-step, how to develop a Security Assessment Plan (SAP) that is applicable to your CDAs. Attendees will be given the tools, knowledge, and experience necessary, through intense hands-on exercises, to build an effective assurance case for each of the cybersecurity controls in the operational, management, and technical families.
