The NIST cybersecurity framework is a very useful guideline because it provides an understanding of the risks associated with using technology, and the correct responses the company can take to manage cyber attacks. One of the activities associated with the NIST cybersecurity framework is identify. Identify can be seen as organizing the information of these technology risks for the employees to completely understand the importance of a risk management strategy. It can also be used to bring a focus to assessing the management of the business and their needs, also the resources that an organization can use when in need of cyber support during a cyber attack.

Another activity in the NIST cybersecurity framework is detect. Detect is an activity that involves the identification of a cybersecurity attack, it develops the necessary functions to monitor events. It can be very useful in discovering a threat, it is always beneficial for the company to catch a threat early on so they can take early action. Understanding the risks and vulnerabilities associated with your company is the best you can do to establish cyber policies and infrastructure because it gives a sense of what the company needs to do to prevent a cyber attack.
