Overview
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0, released in February 2024, is an updated version of the original framework developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). CSF 2.0 expands its applicability beyond critical infrastructure to include organizations of all sizes and sectors, both public and private.The framework provides a flexible structure for managing and reducing cybersecurity risk. It is organized around six core functions: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. Each function includes categories and subcategories of security outcomes and references to widely accepted standards. Though voluntary, CSF 2.0 is widely used by financial institutions, healthcare providers, technology companies, and government agenciesto strengthen cyber resilience and align with regulatory compliance.
