Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

When you think of the cybersecurity "CIA" triad of Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability, which one of those is most important to your organization? While the answer may vary by season for your organization, there is no argument that they are all equally vital sides of that CIA triangle, and each deserves the correct level of care and attention.

As regulatory mandates and frameworks continue to emerge, cybersecurity leaders must continue to adapt to more than just the latest threat actor tactics, techniques, and procedures. As part of our ongoing webinar series centered on compliance, SecurityScorecard’s Senior Product Marketing Manager, Devaney Devoe, moderated a discussion with Adam Bixler (Principal, Squadra Ventures), Christopher Strand (SecurityScorecard’s Global Risk Officer), and Steve Cobb (CISO, SecurityScorecard).

Sequels, bah! Usually, they are never as good as the first. Do not even speak of prequels! This is less of a sequel, and rather should be considered a continuation of the first blog. In line with the original blog, there will be a few references to Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. So, without further ado, you have my sword, and you have my bow, and my axe, or, at the very least, some of my NIST CSF 2.0 insights.

From more broad laws like GDPR to industry-specific regulations like HIPAA, most organizations today must comply with some kind of data protection guideline. Some businesses may even have to comply with numerous data protection regulations. As such, compliance with data protection regulations has become increasingly complicated.

While AI has created exciting new opportunities for business, it has created urgent questions around ethics, responsible use, development, and management. AI also introduces a new, and often nebulous, element of organizational risk. With the introduction of two frameworks, ISO 42001 and NIST AI RMF, companies can now implement, demonstrate, track, and build their responsibility and trust around AI. TrustCloud is very pleased to announce that we support both ISO 42001 and NIST AI RMF.

The NIST Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Framework (AI RMF) is a recent framework developed by The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to guide organizations across all sectors in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and its systems. As AI continues to become implemented in nearly every sector — from healthcare to finance to national defense — it also brings new risks and concerns with it.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released version 2.0 of the Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) on February 26, 2024. The original version was released in 2014, one year after Executive Order 13636 was signed on February 12, 2013. This executive order was written to improve critical infrastructure cybersecurity, streamline the sharing of threat information, and to drive action towards developing a cybersecurity framework.

NIST released the much-anticipated update to its popular Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) in February 2024. The NIST CSF is one of the most widely used cybersecurity frameworks, designed to help organizations of any size in any industry holistically start, mature, and sustain a cybersecurity program. The latest version of the NIST CSF—NIST CSF 2.0—brings several enhancements over the previous version. This article will cover what you need to know about the new NIST CSF 2.0.

January 2020 is when the Department of Defense (DoD) released the Cyber Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework, aimed at evaluating and strengthening the cybersecurity readiness of the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). As per the DoD’s directive, all prime contractors and subcontractors within the supply chain must undergo auditing and certification under the CMMC framework.

In 2014, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released its Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) following a presidential executive order to help organizations better understand, reduce, and communicate cybersecurity risk. In the decade since its introduction, NIST CSF has become one of the most widely recognized and utilized frameworks globally, built upon five key functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover.
