Why NIST?

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cyber Security Framework (CSF) 2.0 released in January 2024 helps businesses of all sizes better understand, manage, and reduce their cybersecurity risk and protect their networks and data. The new NIST CSF 2.0 release adds Governance to the framework, which describes the oversight responsibility for Executives and Boards when it comes to cybersecurity, one of the key risks to manage in enterprise risk management (ERM). In general, NIST outlines how data should be protected. This includes providing standards that govern the security measures needed to protect data, as well as implement the systems and tools used to ensure data safety.

How to comply with NIST requirements?

Compliance involves following the NIST guidelines and ensuring that the business remains in compliance as time goes on. This often includes making adjustments as the business’s vulnerabilities shift and as the cybersecurity landscape evolves.

Remaining in compliance helps protect not only the data but also the people whose lives the data represents and affects. If a hacker penetrates a government data storehouse, more than those within the agency would be impacted—customers could have their data exposed or secrets that impact national security could be revealed.

How can Emergent Security help companies comply with NIST requirements?

Emergent Security can make use of ThreatMate’s Cyber Governance Automation (CGA) which provides a comprehensive, concise, and up to date dashboard that shows how the NIST 2.0 Cybersecurity Framework is working in your organization. Executives and Boards need to understand and manage their governance responsibilities as outlined in NIST CSF 2.0, which includes 5 functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover.

If you are thinking of getting started in your NIST CSF framework, or have a program and want to continuously monitor it, ThreatMate Cyber Governance Automation discovers, analyzes and presents data from your network in order to provide your board NIST CSF 2.0 dashbaords.
