What are the NIST CSF 5 functions?
1. Identify: The Identify function involves understanding the organization’s assets, the threats that could affect them, and the vulnerabilities that could be exploited by those threats. This includes identifying the types of data, systems, and processes that are critical to the organization, as well as the potential risks that could lead to a security incident.
2. Protect: The Protect function focuses on implementing safeguards to prevent, or at least reduce, the impact of a security incident. This includes technical, administrative, and physical controls, such as encryption, access control, and employee training.
3. Detect: The Detect function involves monitoring the organization’s systems and networks for suspicious activity or indicators of a security incident. This includes activities such as logging, monitoring, and auditing of systems and networks.
4. Respond: The Respond function involves having the necessary processes and procedures in place to respond to a security incident. This includes activities such as incident response planning, incident response teams, and communication plans.
5. Recover: The Recover function focuses on restoring the organization’s systems and networks to a secure and operational state following a security incident. This includes activities such as backups, data recovery, and system hardening.
