This pocket guide serves as an introduction to the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) and to its Cybersecurity Framework
(CSF). This is a US focused product.
Now more than ever, organizations need to have a strong and flexible
cybersecurity strategy in place in order to both protect themselves and
be able to continue business in the event of a successful attack.
The NIST CSF is a framework for organizations to manage and mitigate
cybersecurity risk based on existing standards, guidelines, and
practices.
With this pocket guide you can:
- Adapt the CSF for organizations of any size to implement
- Establish an entirely new cybersecurity program, improve an existing
one, or simply provide an opportunity to review your cybersecurity
practices
- Break down the CSF and understand how other frameworks, such as ISO
27001 and ISO 22301, can integrate into your cybersecurity framework
By implementing the CSF in accordance with their needs, organizations
can manage cybersecurity risks in the most cost-effective way possible,
maximizing the return on investment in the organization's security. This
pocket guide also aims to help you take a structured, sensible,
risk-based approach to cybersecurity.
