Privacy risk assessments Threats, Tactics, and Defenses
RCCE students will learn comprehensive risk assessment methodologies including threat identification, vulnerability assessment, impact analysis, likelihood estimation, risk scoring, and risk treatment planning. RCCE students will learn to facilitate risk assessment workshops, apply qualitative and quantitative assessment methods, use frameworks such as NIST SP 800-30, ISO 27005, FAIR, and OCTAVE, document risk assessment findings, calculate risk scores and prioritize treatments, present risk assessment results to executive leadership, and maintain living risk registers that evolve with the threat landscape and organizational changes. This threat-focused course teaches students to think like adversaries while building robust defenses. Building on core knowledge, RCCE students will learn to analyze attack techniques, build detection logic, and implement defensive strategies that proactively identify threats before they cause damage. Students develop a threat-informed mindset that drives better security decisions across all operational activities.
