CySec Professionals Ltd and CyberCovered partner to bring NCSC Certified NCSP® training and discounted cyber insurance to UK SME's
Accredited through APMG International and listed as certified cyber training by the UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) the NIST Cybersecurity Professional (NCSP®) training programme is the industry’s first accredited training program that teaches organisations how to engineer, operationalise and continually improve a cybersecurity program based on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (NIST-CSF).
Now more than ever, organisations must balance a rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape against the need to fulfill business requirements.
The NIST Cyber Security Framework (NIST-CSF) provides a policy framework and guidance to help organisations assess and improve their ability to prevent, detect, respond, and recover to/from cyber-attacks. It provides a high-level taxonomy of cybersecurity outcomes and a methodology to assess and manage those outcomes. Originally aimed at operators of critical infrastructure, the framework is now being used by a wide range of businesses and countries as a proactive approach to cyber risk management.
CySec Professionals Ltd has partnered with Cyber Covered to enable UK SME’s to benefit from their NCSC Certified NIST Cybersecurity Framework training programme as well as comprehensive, discounted cyber insurance.
Cyber Covered share in the vision that now more than ever businesses need support in reducing their vulnerability to cyber-crime. Being a specialist insurance provider, Cyber Covered understands the value of the NCSP® training, the importance of cyber risk management and how it can benefit their customers cyber security posture.
