Cybersecurity Framework (NIST)

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework is a set of guidelines and best practices designed to help organizations manage and reduce cybersecurity risks. Developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, it offers a flexible approach that includes five core functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. These functions help organizations understand their security needs, implement protective measures, detect potential threats, respond effectively to incidents, and recover from breaches. The framework is not a one-size-fits-all solution; instead, it allows organizations to tailor their cybersecurity strategies based on their specific risks and resources.
