Introduction to the RMF Training Program

In an evolving defense landscape, Japan Aerospace & Defense Consulting (JADC) is taking significant steps toward enhancing the capabilities of defense equipment manufacturers. Starting from September 1, 2025, JADC will offer a two-day introductory RMF (Risk Management Framework) training program for companies involved in the manufacturing and supply of defense equipment. This initiative is part of JADC's mission to equip industry professionals with essential knowledge and skills related to RMF practices.

About the RMF Training Program

The RMF training program is designed specifically for those who are new to RMF operations in the defense sector. JADC has considerable expertise, having provided RMF consulting services to 16 defense manufacturing companies. By leveraging this experience, the program aims to develop various practical and relevant content tailored for defense industry needs.

The first content rollout includes a workshop in collaboration with ISFnet Inc., focusing on the critical processes related to 'Security Planning' and 'Risk Analysis and Evaluation.' This content will be available from August 2025, allowing participants to engage in hands-on exercises that mirror the initial response procedures required in RMF environments. The training builds on JADC's internal workshops for RMF consultants, leading to an organized acquisition of knowledge on RMF practices.

Entry-Level Course: Two-Day Overview of RMF

The introductory course is aimed at individuals beginning their journey into RMF operations. Over two days, attendees will gain foundational knowledge in information security and RMF concepts. The training will cover:
1. Basic Knowledge of Information Security and RMF:
Lectures will articulate the principles of information security, updated international circumstances, and the factors that indicate the necessity for RMF.
2. Practical Workshops:
Participants will engage in exercises learning the initial knowledge related to security standards and RMF operations, including NIST SP800 series protocols. This hands-on aspect will reinforce understanding and facilitate knowledge retention.

Advanced Content in the Pipeline

In addition to the introductory program, JADC plans to launch advanced content after October 2025. This includes expanded modules that will teach processes related to ongoing monitoring and future planning in RMF scenarios, categorized into 'Technical Expert' and 'Advanced User' levels. These advanced sessions will be customizable based on the proficiency levels of organizations or attendees, ensuring a tailored approach to RMF learning.

For organizations seeking in-depth understanding, the 'Advanced User' program will focus on grasping security management strategies and concepts related to mitigation and risk acceptance. Interested participants are encouraged to inquire for more details about the customizable contents tailored to fit organizational needs.
