NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 Training by Tonex
NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 Training by Tonex provides professionals with a practical understanding of the updated framework for managing organizational cyber risks. Participants examine the six core functions—Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover—and learn how to apply profiles, implementation tiers, and informative references across diverse environments. The course emphasizes governance, leadership accountability, supply chain risk, performance measurement, and continuous improvement.
By strengthening cybersecurity governance and risk-based decision-making, the framework helps organizations prioritize investments and protect critical assets. It also improves cybersecurity communication among executives, technical teams, regulators, partners, and other stakeholders.
