The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) provides a list of best practices organizations can follow to maintain a secure environment. At first glance, the list can seem quite complex! When Sedara works with a client to improve their security posture, we do in-depth information gathering. The questions asked might include things like: How do you keep your computer systems updated? How often are they updated? How do you manage adding access for new hires, and ending access for terminations? Do you provide your staff training so they are up-to-date on security threats?

Welcome back to the Sedara Whiteboard series. In this episode, we will discuss frequently asked questions about NIST CSF. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework, developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, integrates industry standards and bast practices to help organizations manage their cybersecurity risks. It is widely used across schools, government organizations, and businesses across the globe. Sedara uses the NIST CSF as a basis for testing the posture of an organization’s security.
