What is the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and why is it important in 2025?
TL;DR: The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) is a globally recognized guide for managing cybersecurity risk. In 2025, it's more essential than ever as it evolves into version 2.0—helping organizations adapt to modern threats, meet compliance demands, and strengthen resilience.
As highlighted in the 6clicks guide Cyber Resilience in 2025, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) provides a flexible, outcomes-driven structure for identifying, managing, and reducing cybersecurity risk. Developed by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology, the framework is used globally by both public and private organizations—including governments, banks, utilities, healthcare providers, and technology companies.
With the release of NIST CSF 2.0, the framework has been updated to reflect emerging technologies, evolving threats, and the increasing need for resilience.
Why NIST CSF matters now more than ever

NIST CSF helps prioritize cybersecurity activities based on organizational risk—not just checklists. -
Universal applicability
Scales across sectors, sizes, and regulatory contexts—whether you're a startup or a government agency. -
Evolving with threats
Version 2.0 adds greater emphasis on governance, supply chain risk, and performance measurement. -
Foundation for resilience
The framework supports not only prevention, but response and recovery—core to staying operational amid modern cyberattacks. -
Supports compliance
Aligns with ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, CPS 234, and other global standards, making it a unifying compliance tool.
What’s new in NIST CSF 2.0?
According to the summary on page 5 of the guide:
-
Introduces a Govern function to centralize accountability and oversight
-
Adds emphasis on third-party and supply chain risk
-
Provides enhanced guidance on metrics, assessments, and maturity
