The Newest Course at Simply Cyber Academy is AKYLADE Certified Cyber Resilience Practitioner (A/CCRP)!

Are you ready to lead the team or be an independent consultant?

Stand on the foundation of what you learned in AKYLADE Certified Cyber Resilience Fundamentals (A/CCRF), to master the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and elevate your career.


Cyber resilience is quickly becoming one of the most important concepts in the world of cybersecurity. It's not just about preventing attacks, but about being able to withstand and recover from them.

The AKYLADE Certified Cyber Resilience Practitioner (A/CCRP) exam prep course in Simply Cyber Academy is by Steve McMichael, CPA, CCRP, and features content from:
  1. Gerald Auger, Ph.D
  2. Jason Dion on the Cyber Coffee Hour Podcast with Dr. Joseph J. Burt-Miller Jr

A/CCRP is an intermediate step in the GRC Certification Roadmap.

It takes us beyond what organizations need to do become cyber resilient, as defined by NIST in the Cybersecurity Framework, with a process for how to do it. AKYLADE calls this process making a Cyber Risk Management Action Plan, or CR-MAP. CR-MAP is a field tested, step-by-step framework for assessing and managing cyber risks in any organization.

The A/CCRP certification demonstrates the holder's practical knowledge of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) version 2.0, and their ability to apply a CR-MAP process to plan, influence, manage, and optimize cybersecurity resilience in organizations. It focuses on real-world scenarios and problem-solving skills required for internal and external cybersecurity consultants.

πŸ’‘Let's make this real with an example. Say you're a cybersecurity consultant hired by a medical device company. They're worried about supply chain attacks and device safety. Using the CR-MAP, you'd start by assessing their biggest risks. That means analyzing network diagrams and interviewing staff about security practices.

Based on what you find, you identify top 5 cyber risks and create a comprehensive plan for reasonable, repeatable cybersecurity practices. This could include technical solutions like firewalls and encryption, but also things like employee training and incident response procedures. You're looking at the big picture.

Then you guide them through implementing the plan, keeping an eye on progress and making adjustments as needed.

As you think about your career journey, consider how the A/CCRP might fit in. How could a deep understanding of cyber resilience help you achieve your goals? How could you use the CR-MAP framework to make your organization, and our shared digital world, a little bit safer?

These are the kinds of questions the A/CCRP course in Simply Cyber Academy challenges us to ask. Because in the end, cyber resilience isn't just a technical challenge - it's a human one. It's about all of us working together to create a more secure, more resilient future.
