Training program
Cyber Resilience Foundation Course
Outline
- The key differences between Operational Resilience, Cyber Security and Cyber Resilience.
- How to identify the risk drivers for your organisation in the context of Cyber Resilience.
- The fundamentals of Cyber Resilience from industry-standards (NIST 800-160 and MITRE CREF): goals, objectives, techniques, approaches.
- How to apply Business Impact Analysis (BIA) and IT BIA in the context of Cyber Resilience, evolving the identification of critical assets from an adversarial viewpoint.
- Critical assets protection leveraging NIST 800-172, the Secure Control Framework and other effective control sets.
- Understanding of important enabling capabilities of a future-proof Cyber Resilience practice such as incident response, operational recovery, crisis management.
Cyber Resilience Advanced Course
Outline
- Deep dive into the Cyber Resilience Capability Maturity Model (CR-CMM) as the main vehicle to assess and build enablers and capabilities.
- Technical cyber resilience strategies and deep dive into tools like MITRE CREF Navigator for increasing the efficacy of risk and threat-informed defensive architectural decisions.
- Design and strategy definition of cyber recovery, data vaulting and isolated recovery sites as well as cyber crisis management planning.
- System-level analysis and offensive testing strategies of the chosen Cyber Resilience properties as defined by your risk objectives.
- Design Cyber Resilience metrics in order to maintain a continuous view of your organisation’s posture.
- How to translate Cyber Resilience constructs into your organisation’s processes - make Cyber Resilience come to life across the board.
- Defining and testing of essential Cyber Resilience capabilities such as large-scale rapid response, cyber crisis management, data vaulting and last-resort recovery.
Preparing the Cyber Resilience workforce with NIST NICE
100% compliant with NIST NICE Framework and the Cyber Resilience Officer role requirements.
Our Foundation and Advanced courses are the first and only training programs designed to fully prepare you for all cyber resilience workforce requirements. With a practical, implementation-focused approach, we empower you to build or enhance a Cyber Resilience program immediately.
Our courses provide ready-to-apply skills, grounded in industry best practices from NIST and MITRE, ensuring alignment with authoritative frameworks. We deliberately avoid proprietary or custom concepts that risk becoming obsolete, focusing instead on evolving, standards-based resilience strategies.
From the World Economic Forum: "Cyber resilience must be governed from the top. Too many leaders who are not technical experts delegate it because they think it is too complex. In addition to taking responsibility, a dedicated Cyber Resilience Officer needs to report directly to the Board."

Let's demystify Cyber Resilience
Cyber Resilience became a buzzword which is too often overused in various business and technical contexts.
Frequently Cyber Resilience solutions or training are being sold as the “next thing” needed to stay ahead of cyber threats - however digging deeper, you may realise that what’s being offered is just “traditional” capabilities (business continuity, disaster recovery, cybersecurity incident response, crisis management).
Instead, Cyber Resilience is based on the science of anticipation and the concept of mission assurance which goes significantly beyond currently adopted approaches.
To design and assure cyber resilient organisations and systems-of-systems, we need to learn and leverage specific frameworks which require a new approach in viewing our information assets.

In 2022, Francesco has co-authored multiple recognized research papers such as the World Economic Forum “The Cyber Resilience Index: Advancing Organizational Cyber Resilience”, the ASIFMA “Data Vaulting considerations for improving data recovery” and the Eurocontrol “Incident Timing Metrics, Reporting Cyber Risk to Boards. Francesco promotes and demystifies across all industries and communities the concepts of cyber resilience and threat-informed defense. From the beginning of his career, Francesco has been successful in providing international pedigree enterprises with the abilities to anticipate, withstand, respond and recover from multi-faceted attacks from advanced cyber adversaries. He had the privilege to build a best-in-class cyber resilience program vetted -among others- by experts of the US CISA cyber resilience task force. In this capacity, Francesco has coined the concept of “high value target” and developed a methodology to identify assets’ value from an adversarial standpoint.
