NIST Cybersecurity Framework Core
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework consists of six core functions that support the creation of a robust cybersecurity plan to minimize risks, decrease the attack surface, address vulnerabilities, and build a comprehensive plan for both protection and response.
-
1
Identify
Examine current risks including threats and vulnerabilities related to data, systems, and assets. -
2
Protect
Analyze existing cybersecurity safeguards, from training to logical and physical security to determine protection levels and whether additional controls are needed. -
3
Detect
Defines the essential processes necessary to rapidly identify cybersecurity events so teams can initiate an appropriate response. -
4
Respond
Establish guidelines for organizational response from containing or limiting the attack to reporting, ensuring business continuity, and mitigating future cybersecurity events. -
5
Recover
Identify the best processes to achieve business resilience and quickly restore impaired services, capabilities, and capacities after a cybersecurity event. -
6
Govern
Ensure that cybersecurity policies, procedures, and controls align with the organization's overall objectives, risk appetite, and regulatory requirements.
Benefits of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework
While implementing the NIST CSF is voluntary, it is becoming mandatory for some sectors such as Florida local government entities. It is based on best established cybersecurity practices drawn from a variety of sources including: CIS CSC, COBIT, ISA, ISO 27001 and NIST 800-53.
Most importantly it offers:
Most importantly it offers:
-
A Comprehensive and Flexible Approach
Tailor the framework to meet your specific needs and risk profile based on industry, company size, and more. -
Alignment with Industry Standards and Regulations
The NIST CSF aligns with a wide range of other industry standards and regulations, such as ISO/IEC 27001, HIPAA, and CIS Critical Controls. -
An Intense Focus on Risk Management
Focusing on the highest risks and the most critical assets, companies can allocate resources more efficiently and effectively, improving their overall security posture. -
Scalability and Universality
The NIST CSF is designed to be a versatile tool that can grow and evolve with any organization, adapting to evolving threats and business changes. -
Continuous Improvement
Regular assessments and cybersecurity improvements offer a proactive approach to security building resilience and ensuring organizations can quickly recover from and adapt to cybersecurity incidents. -
Proven Track Record and Government Backing
Developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a respected authority in cybersecurity, the framework benefits from rigorous research and a solid foundation in best practices.
