The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF) is a voluntary framework developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to help organizations manage cybersecurity risk. It was created via an executive order from President Obama in 2013 to improve cybersecurity within critical infrastructure. By Julien Katzenmaier.
It provides a risk-based approach to identify, assess, and prioritize risk, and to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to reduce it. It is composed of five core functions—Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover—and ties into other NIST standards, guidelines, and best practices. The framework provides organizations with a flexible, repeatable, and cost-effective approach to managing their cybersecurity risks.
However, for organizations to meet NIST cybersecurity framework compliance, they must adopt a holistic approach toward cybersecurity, ranging from various practices, policies, and tools.
