This course is offered by the National Cybersecurity Preparedness Consortium (NCPC) and was developed by the NCPC partner The University of Texas at San Antonio Center for Infrastructure Assurance and Security (UTSA/CIAS).  The course is funded through the DHS/FEMA Homeland Security National Training Program and is offered at no cost.

Using the Community Cyber Security Maturity Model to Develop a Cyber Security Program will introduce students to the DHS-supported Community Cyber Security Maturity Model (CCSMM) which can be used as a guide for communities and states in developing their own CCSMM-consistent cybersecurity programs. Students will learn what is required to develop a coordinated, sustained, and viable community cyber security program and the resources available to assist in improving awareness, information sharing, policies, and plans.
