NIST Cybersecurity Framework

In this module we learned about the NIST Cybersecurity Framework for workplace readiness. The framework analyzes the countless benefits to organizations and or businesses to help improve their cybersecurity management and combat exploitation.  Businesses can gain many different benefits if they use the framework like so, improving risk management. How a business should go about identifying, assessing, and managing potential data risks, this can help the cybersecurity department be ready and prioritize risks. The framework coincides with the regulatory requirements for business of each sector of a business not necessarily just cybersecurity. Businesses are able to implement laws and regulations more effectively than without having the NIST framework. The NIST framework is cost-effective when budgeted correctly. Organizations should be able to allocate resources more effectively to ensure security protocols are met with are ever so growing technological era. I would use the NIST framework using the five core functions; Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover; this is what needs to be covered when organizing a business. I would start a cybersecurity policy that aligns with the NIST framework this is to outline the organizations to managing cybersecurity risks and implement them. I would train and update staff about the new cybersecurity policies to effectively communicate goals and expectations. I would have weekly or daily audits to assess the organizations policy is being effective and aligns with the NIST framework.
