NIST has released version 2.0 of its Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), expanding its scope to offer security tips for all organizations. Newly introduced resources include quick-start guides, implementation examples, and a new core risk management function called “govern.” NIST plans to continue enhancing the framework and encourages users to share feedback for better cybersecurity.
Key Takeaways from the Meeting Notes:
1. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released version 2.0 of its Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) after years of revision.
2. CSF 2.0’s scope has been expanded to provide security tips for organizations in any sector and of any size, regardless of their cybersecurity sophistication.
3. CSF is a set of best practices and recommendations to improve cybersecurity posture and raise organizational awareness of safe operations.
4. CSF 2.0 offers a suite of resources that can be customized and used individually or in combination over time as an organization’s cybersecurity needs change and capabilities evolve.
5. New resources in CSF 2.0 include quick-start guides for different types of organizations, implementation examples, a mapping catalog, and reference tools.
6. A new core risk management function, “govern,” has been added in CSF 2.0 to establish, communicate, and monitor an organization’s cybersecurity risk management strategy, expectations, and policy.
7. NIST views CSF 2.0 as a living document and plans to continue updating it with available resources based on feedback from the security community.
