Understanding the NIST Cybersecurity Framework

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 is a set of guidelines, best practices, and standards to help organizations manage and improve their cybersecurity posture. It provides a structured approach for organizations to identify, protect, detect, respond to, and recover from cyber threats and incidents. The framework is widely used by businesses, government agencies, and other organizations to assess and enhance their cybersecurity resilience. This whitepaper covers the NIST CSF 2.0 and explains the differences found in this updated Framework.
