Getting started with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework :

Abstract

This document intends to provide direction and guidance to those organizations in any sector or community seeking to improve cybersecurity risk management via utilization of the NIST Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity (Cybersecurity Framework or the Framework). Cybersecurity is an important and amplifying component of an organization s overall risk management process. The Framework enables organizations regardless of size, degree of cybersecurity risk, or cybersecurity sophistication to apply the principles and best practices of risk management to improve security and resilience. Through implementation of the Framework, organizations can better identify, assess, and manage their cybersecurity risks in the context of their broader mission and business objectives.

“…-Classifying the investigated defensive operations based on the widely recognized National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework [9]. These activities are divided into five essential functions: identify, protect, detect, respond and recover.…”

“…The examined defensive operations are classified using the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework, which is a widely acknowledged collection of guidelines and best practices for increasing cybersecurity within businesses [9]. The framework is split into five essential steps or functions, which are: identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover.…”

“…Inquiring about the domain name system (DNS) server [41] falls under the "Identify" function because it aids in comprehending the organization's domain name system (DNS) infrastructure [9]. It is about identifying a critical asset, the authoritative DNS server, which is responsible for resolving domain names to IP addresses.…”

“…The distinction between "Identify" and "Protect" functions is based on determining when the switch from identification to protection happens [9]. The "Identify" step outlines risks to set the stage for the "Protect" step, but it does not describe the particular controls or safeguards to be implemented.…”

“…Because policies serve as the framework for how an organization will safeguard its assets, developing security policies is a vital aspect of the "Protect" function [9]. Security policies [42] define the rules, standards, and recommendations that must be followed to ensure the organization's security.…”
