What benefit is the NIST Cybersecuirty Framework, and how would you use it at your future workplace? The NIST Framework provides a policy of network protection security for organizations. The NIST is a layout on how a organization should asses current and future threats, risks, resources and help an organization to align and prioritize its cybersecurity activities. The functions within the NIST are to Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. In my workplace, I believe this should be used if not already as this is a efficient and cost effective way to protect the company. It is very important for a company to know about all risks and should stay cautious of these factors at all times.
