What’s the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF)?
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) was tasked in 2012 by then-president Obama to create a set of common-sense protection actions that SMBs could take to better protect themselves from Internet-based exposures. The result of their activities is the Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), a set of foundational controls that provide guidance in 5 key areas: Identify, Detect, Protect, Respond, and Recover. They provide guidance on not just what should be done, but also, in some cases, provide proscriptive directions on how to protect your business, your employees, and your data.
