Identify Function

This Function is the cornerstone of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, essential for building a robust and comprehensive security program. It focuses on understanding and managing an organization’s cybersecurity risks. It includes asset management, business environment analysis, governance, risk assessment, and strategy development. Watch this video to gain a quick overview of the Identify Function in NIST CSF 2.0.

Protect Function

The Protect Function of the NIST CSF 2.0 involves implementing safeguards to ensure critical infrastructure services are secure and resilient. This includes activities like access control, data security, and awareness training to limit the impact of cybersecurity events and maintain operational continuity. Watch this video!

Detect Function

This NIST CSF 2.0 Function identifies cybersecurity events and ensures swift responses through continuous monitoring and adverse event analysis. Continuous monitoring detects real-time anomalies, while adverse event analysis investigates significant incidents, offering insights and corrective measures. Watch this video to learn how the streamlined structure improves efficiency and outcomes.

Respond Function

This Function of the NIST CSF 2.0 prepares organizations to handle cybersecurity incidents with refined plans, processes, and communication strategies, enhancing integration with other Functions. Watch this video to learn how GuidePoint Security offers a holistic approach to the Respond Function of the NIST CSF 2.0.

Recovery Function

The Recovery Function focuses on developing and implementing plans to restore systems and operations following a cyber incident. It emphasizes thorough documentation, effective communication, and rigorous testing through real-world simulations to ensure business continuity and resilience. Watch this video to learn how this Function guides organizations to prepare recovery plans and also practice them until they become second nature, ensuring swift and efficient recovery from disruptions.
