The organization of the NIST CSF 2.0 has been redesigned to focus on six core functions.
- Govern: Establish rules and regulations to ensure proper functioning and control.
- Identify: Recognize and determine the nature or identity of something or someone.
- Protect: Safeguard and defend against potential harm or danger.
- Detect: Discover or find out the presence or existence of something.
- Respond: Take action or provide a reaction in response to a situation or stimulus.
- Recover: Regain or retrieve something that was lost or damaged.
Incorporating the NIST CSF 2.0 into the planning of Cyber Incident Response
Below are additional measures you can implement to incorporate NIST’s Cybersecurity Framework into your Incident Response Plan:
- Enhancing incident response skills through immersive training exercises that simulate real-world cyber threats.
- Conducting cyber tabletop tests using simulation-based techniques to evaluate and improve incident response capabilities.
- Mitigating risks associated with third-party vendors by implementing effective risk management strategies.
- Promoting information sharing among relevant stakeholders to enhance cybersecurity awareness and response capabilities.
Cybersecurity threats will continue to evolve in the foreseeable future. The National Institute of Standards and Technology has acknowledged this reality and has accordingly revised its Cybersecurity Framework. It is crucial for organizations to leverage this updated guidance and incorporate it into their cybersecurity incident response strategies and procedures.
