NIST CSF

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) is a set of guidelines created by the National Institute of Standards and Technology to help organizations manage and improve their cybersecurity. It organizes best practices into five core areas: identifying risks, protecting assets, detecting threats, responding to incidents, and recovering afterwards. The goal is to create a structured, flexible approach that enhances an organization’s ability to defend against cyber threats, reduce risks, and respond effectively if security issues occur. It is designed to be adaptable for organizations of any size or industry, providing a common language for cybersecurity efforts.
