What is the NIST Cybersecurity Framework?

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework provides a set of guidelines for private sector companies to better prepare for identifying, detecting, and responding to cyber-attacks. It also includes guidance on preventing and recovering from such attacks.

Origins and Adoption: Originally intended as guidelines for federal agencies, these standards are now widely implemented in state and local government offices. However, the benefits of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework extend beyond governmental organizations.

Who Should Know About It? Everyone concerned with or responsible for their organization's cybersecurity should be familiar with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. By following these guidelines, nongovernmental organizations and businesses can enhance their cybersecurity posture and resilience against cyber threats.
