The NIST Cybersecurity Framework is used internationally and has been translated into multiple languages. It serves as a benchmark for cybersecurity standards, helping organizations align their practices with recognized global standards, such as ISO/IEC 27001 and COBIT. While widely praised, the framework has been criticized for the cost and ...

NIST performs its statutory responsibilities through the Computer Security Division of the Information Technology Laboratory. [4] NIST develops standards, metrics, tests, and validation programs to promote, measure, and validate the security in information systems and services. NIST hosts the following: FISMA implementation project [1]
NIST decided to update the framework to make it more applicable to small and medium size enterprises that use the framework, as well as to accommodate the constantly changing nature of cybersecurity. [43] In August 2024, NIST released a final set of encryption tools designed to withstand the attack of a quantum computer.
Many NIST publications define risk in IT context in different publications: FISMApedia [9] term [10] provide a list. Between them: According to NIST SP 800-30: [11] Risk is a function of the likelihood of a given threat-source’s exercising a particular potential vulnerability, and the resulting impact of that adverse event on the organization.
