NIST CSF Abstract – Cyber Security Users Group – November 2017

On February 12, 2013 then President Obama issued Presidential Executive Order for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity. One aspect of the executive order was for the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to develop what has become known as the NIST Cyber Security Framework or NIST CSF or simply CSF. Since being released in February 2014 the CSF has gained significant traction.  This talk will explore key aspects of the CSF, adoption of the framework, implications for businesses, and potential future considerations.  A case study will be referenced pertaining to the adoption of information security frameworks and alignment with NIST CSF.  This talk is intended to be interactive with questions and commentary encouraged during and after.
