Risk assessment Hardening Workshop
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 hands-on hardening course focuses on reducing attack surface through practical configuration changes and security guardrails. At an expert level, RCCE students will learn to apply hardening baselines, validate configurations, and measure the security improvement achieved. Students walk away with actionable hardening checklists and the skills to maintain hardened configurations as environments evolve.
