NIST Cybersecurity Framework

What is NIST Cybersecurity Framework?

A voluntary framework published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology that provides a common language for understanding, managing, and expressing cybersecurity risk. The current version (CSF 2.0) includes six functions: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover.
