After having several customers and partners ask me about utilizing the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, I’ve begun mapping Microsoft products and architectural references to subcategories of the Framework.This post addresses the Protect function. Read my post about the Identify function mapping, and look...
Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. Each has a set of directives and guidance on how to achieve the goals of that function. When implemented effectively, theNIST CSFprovides a well-constructed foundation and framework for a successful cybersecurity program, designed to meet modern thr...
The CSF uses a simple structure with just five key functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. Each function uses clear, outcome-based language without extensive technical detail. The CSF also outlines a simple process to help improve your cybersecurity program. ...
Multiple categories under the Identify in the original framework have been moved to the new Govern function, including Business Environment, Risk Management Strategy and Supply Chain Risk Management. Protect The Protect function covers a range of safeguards for preventing or reducing cybersecurity risk....
The framework’s core is now organized around six key functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover, along with CSF 2.0’s newly added Govern function. When considered together, these functions provide a comprehensive view of the life cycle for managing cybersecurity risk. ...
NIST CSF is broken down into five framework functions, each function contains a set of categories and subcategories. The five functions are: Identify: Understand and manage cybersecurity risks to systems, assets, data, and capabilities. The categories within the Identity function are: ...
In 2014, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), recognizing the importance of protecting U.S. systems and data against cyberattack, issued its CyberSecurity Framework (CSF). ...
The second function, Protect, lays down the foundation for the implementation of safeguards to ensure the continued delivery of critical services. By designing and implementing appropriate safeguards, organizations can limit the adverse impact of potential cybersecurity events. This phase may comprise the...
On February 26, 2024, the US government agency National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released a major update to its widely-adopted Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) – marking the transition from version 1.1 to 2.0. What is the NIST Cybersecurity Framework? NIST’s CSF was first ...
By reviewing the current state of your cybersecurity, you have a better understanding of where you are. Going forward, you can leverage the solutions proffered by the NIST cybersecurity framework to make predictions and communicate your expectations effectively with stakeholders and external bodies.
