Cyber Resilience Index Course

Cyber Resilience Index Course helps organizations measure and improve their ability to withstand cyber incidents through practical frameworks, hands-on assessments, and actionable remediation plans.

In this comprehensive course, you will learn how to design, assess, and improve cyber resilience programs that reduce downtime, protect critical assets, and strengthen business continuity. Moreover, we emphasize practical exercises and real-world case studies so you gain immediately useful skills.

Course Description

This course combines theory, practical tools, and assessment templates so you can implement a repeatable Cyber Resilience Index for any organization. First, we explain core concepts and terminology; next, we walk through risk-informed measurement techniques; finally, we guide you to build dashboards and remediation roadmaps. Throughout the course, instructors present proven methods and demonstrate how to apply them to everyday operations.

Course Objectives & Learning Outcomes

• Understand resilience principles and how they differ from traditional cybersecurity approaches.
• Develop measurable resilience indicators and map them to business priorities.
• Create and run resilience assessments using templates and scoring models.
• Interpret assessment results and prioritize remediation actions to reduce business risk.
• Design a governance model that supports continuous improvement and incident recovery.
• Build communication plans and run tabletop exercises to validate controls and processes.

What You’ll Learn

• Introduction to Cyber Resilience concepts and key terminology.
• Designing a Cyber Resilience Index: metrics, weighting, and scoring.
• Mapping resilience measures to assets, processes, and third-party dependencies.
• Assessment methods: surveys, technical scans, and process reviews.
• Data-driven prioritization and remediation planning.
• Business continuity, incident response, and rapid recovery practices.
• Reporting, dashboards, and stakeholder communication.
• Case studies and hands-on labs to apply learning immediately.

Course Content & Format

The course contains video lessons, downloadable templates (Index spreadsheet, scoring guide, remediation tracker), and lab exercises that you can complete in your own environment. In addition, we include a sample audit and a scenario-driven tabletop exercise so you can validate your plan in a realistic setting.

Requirements

• Basic familiarity with information security concepts (e.g., confidentiality, integrity, availability).
• Access to a spreadsheet program (Excel, Google Sheets) to use scoring templates.
• Optional: access to a test environment or documentation from your organization to practice assessments.
