In an era where cyber threats are increasingly sophisticated and unpredictable, prioritizing risk management has become critical. Cybersecurity breaches, whether from malware, ransomware, or other attacks, can inflict substantial damage on your organization’s infrastructure and reputation. However, it’s not just about cyber threats.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) has been a stalwart ally for organizations for years, providing guidance on understanding, evaluating and communicating about cybersecurity risks. The release of NIST CSF 2.0, expected in early 2024, provides a paradigm shift. This blog post provides an in-depth exploration of the structure of the NIST CSF and the key changes coming in version 2.0.

With NIST recently releasing an updated draft version of the framework, we outline the main proposed changes.

Organizations looking to protect their sensitive data and assets against cyberattacks may lack the ability to build a cybersecurity strategy without any structured help. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has a free, public framework to help any organization mature its IT security posture. Recently, the institute published an updated version of the cybersecurity framework (CSF), NIST CSF 2.0, which contains a number of updates from the previous framework.
