Resource:

Cybersecurity Risk Management by Cynthia Brumfield and turning it into weekly teachable video material

Week 2 Deliverable:

I have posted a video presentation on Youtube going through:

  • What is risk
  • The purpose of risk assessment
  • NIST Framework overview
  • Purpose of NIST development

Reflection:

Initially I had wanted to do a report based on the summary of the textbook on NIST Framework. However, when I started reading, I realised that the easiest way would be to do it in a video form. I have asked some of my cohort to provide feedback on the video, as this would help me assess the teachability and improve the content for each week.

Goals:

  • Read and summarise the overview of what risk assessment and purpose of NIST Framework is about.
  • Create and record video content
  • Send it to my cohort for teaching and receive feedback.

Challenges:

Barriers I had this week:

  • Trying to finish reading, understanding, summarising with enough time to record and make a video
  • Video was too large to send, so I had to create a youtube channel to post it up.
  • Asking cohort for feedback on video - many people have not returned any feedback.

Achievements I had this week:

Time management, level of understanding,

Next week's plan:

  • Learn about User and Network Infrastructure Planning and Management
  • Create video content and incorporating feedback received from previous week.
  • Attempting to reach a larger space for feedback on video.

Feedback from cohort:
