NIST Cyber Security Framework solution overview
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is a non-regulatory agency of the United States Department of Commerce that develops technology, metrics, and standards to promote innovation and industrial competitiveness. One of NIST's key areas of focus is cybersecurity, and in 2014 they introduced the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF).
The NIST CSF is a set of guidelines, standards, and best practices designed to help organizations manage and reduce cybersecurity risks. It is based on industry standards and best practices and is a voluntary framework that can be adapted to the unique needs of any organization, regardless of size, industry, or cybersecurity maturity.
The NIST CSF consists of five key functions: The functions are:
-
Identify: Know what assets need protection and what risks they face
-
Protect: Implement safeguards to protect those assets from threats
-
Detect: Monitor for and detect cybersecurity events in a timely manner
-
Respond: Take action to contain and respond to detected cybersecurity incidents
-
Recover: Restore systems and assets after a cybersecurity incident has occurred
Each function is further divided into categories and subcategories, with specific activities and outcomes to achieve. By using the CSF, organizations can assess their current cybersecurity posture, identify areas for improvement, and develop a roadmap for addressing any gaps.
