Train2Secure

The courses in Train2Secure were designed to meet the requirements specified by the NIST Special Publication 800-16. The curriculum is mapped directly to NIST 800-16 and 18 role-based training plans have been developed based on these guidelines.

The NIST Special Publication 800-16 provides a framework (planning tool) in order to:

• Determine the training needs of employees and contractors involved with sensitive but unclassified computer systems
• Provide flexibility for extensions to accommodate future technologies and the related risk management decisions
• Facilitate "results-based" learning by focusing on job functions, roles and responsibilities specific to individuals and recognizes that individuals have different levels of understanding.
• Identify training needs throughout the work force that can be used to ensure that individuals receive appropriate training
• Use standards-based course mappings, sample curriculums, and easy to use tables that ensure that the roles and performance-based training criteria are being met for every course and every student
