What Are The Five Elements Of The NIST Cybersecurity Framework?

Legit Secuity, January 23rd, 2023

A cybersecurity framework is a group of documents outlining guidelines, security-related standards, and best practices to help organizations manage and protect their assets from cybersecurity threats.

Any InfoSec framework aims to prepare organizations and minimize the potential risk of vulnerabilities by identifying and remediating them.

Example cybersecurity frameworks include the NIST cybersecurity framework, the ISO 27001 framework, the Cybersecurity maturity model (CMMC) developed by the US Department of Defense (DoD), as well as Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Legit Security has aggregated many of these frameworks together into best-practices that can reduce software supply chain risk dramatically.
