NIST is the National Institute of Standards and Technology at the U.S. Department of Commerce. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) helps businesses better understand, manage, and reduce their cybersecurity risk and protect their networks and data. It gives your business an outline of best practices to help you decide where to focus your time and money for cybersecurity protection. The NIST CSF is a common framework used by small and large organizations across various industries. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework consists of 108 practices across five areas or domains: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover.
