Protect
Deploy essential safeguards for uninterrupted service delivery
Significantly reduce your risk of being a victim of cyberattacks
The Protect function of the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF) provides organizations with a comprehensive set of activities to protect their assets and information from cyberattacks.
Multilayered security to proactively protect your physical and digital assets, as well as your operations
The second step of the framework, Protect, focuses on limiting and containing the impact of a potential cybersecurity event. Categories within this function include identity management and access control, awareness and training, data security, information protection processes and procedures, maintenance, and protective technology.
Activities to identify your risks
If you are looking to improve your organization’s cybersecurity posture, the NIST CSF Identify function is a great place to start. Here are the activities involved in this function:
Manage access to assets and information
This includes activities to control who has access to the organization’s assets and information, and to ensure that access is only granted to authorized users. Organizations can verify users’ identities by using strong passwords and enabling multifactor authentication.
Protect sensitive data
This includes activities to keep sensitive data safe from unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, or destruction. Employing encryption, access controls, and regular monitoring are some of the techniques that can prevent unauthorized access and protect sensitive information from being compromised.
Conduct regular backups
This includes activities to create and maintain regular backups of critical data and systems, so that they can be restored in the event of a cyberattack or other disaster.
Protect your devices
This includes activities to protect the organization’s devices from malware and other threats. Security measures such as firewalls, antivirus software, and regular updates safeguard devices from various types of attacks.
Manage device vulnerabilities
This includes activities to identify and patch vulnerabilities in the organization’s devices. Proactive vulnerability management ensures that potential weaknesses are promptly addressed, minimizing the risk of exploitation.
Train users
This includes activities to train users on cybersecurity best practices, such as how to spot phishing emails and create strong passwords. Providing comprehensive training and awareness programs educates users about best practices, reducing the likelihood of security breaches resulting from human error.
