The NIST Cybersecurity Framework

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework is a set of guidelines that helps organizations improve their ability to protect computer systems and data from cyber threats. It outlines five key areas: identifying risks, protecting assets, detecting security issues early, responding effectively to incidents, and recovering quickly afterward. The framework is flexible and adaptable, guiding organizations of any size or industry to build stronger cybersecurity practices tailored to their needs. Its goal is to reduce the chance of cyber attacks and limit their impact if they occur.
