RESILIA™ Foundation: In-House Training AXELOS RESILIA™: Cyber Resilience Best Practice is designed to help commercial and government organizations around the world prevent, detect, and correct any impact cyber attacks will have on the information required to do business. Adding RESILIA to the existing AXELOS global best practice portfolio, including ITIL® and PRINCE2®, brings a common cyber resilience best practice for security, IT service management, and business. Active cyber resilience is achieved through people, process, and technology. The RESILIA™ Foundation course starts with the purpose, key terms, the distinction between resilience and security, and the benefits of implementing cyber resilience. It introduces risk management and the key activities needed to address risks and opportunities. Further, it explains the relevance of common management standards and best practice frameworks to achieve cyber resilience. Subsequently, it identifies the cyber resilience processes, the associated control objectives, interactions, and activities that should be aligned with corresponding ITSM activities. In the final part of the course, it describes the segregation of duties and dual controls related to cyber resilience roles and responsibilities. What you will Learn At the end of this course, you will be able to: Demonstrate your knowledge of the purpose, benefits, and key terms of cyber resilience Demonstrate your knowledge of the risk management and the key activities needed to address risks and opportunities Demonstrate your knowledge of the purpose of a management system and how best practices and standards can contribute Demonstrate your knowledge of the cyber resilience strategy, the associated control objectives, and their interactions with ITSM activities Demonstrate your knowledge of cyber resilience design, the associated control objectives, and their interactions with ITSM activities Demonstrate your knowledge of cyber resilience transition, the associated control objectives, and their interactions with ITSM activities Demonstrate your knowledge of cyber resilience operation, the associated control objectives, and their interactions with ITSM activities Demonstrate your knowledge of cyber resilience continual improvement, the associated control objectives, and their interactions with ITSM activities Demonstrate your knowledge of the purpose and benefits of segregation of duties and dual controls Course Introduction Course Learning Objectives Course Agenda Activities Course Book Structure RESILIA Certification Introduction to Cyber Resilience What is Cyber Resilience?
