The NIST Cybersecurity Framework organizes its "core" material into five "functions" which are subdivided into a total of 23 "categories". For each category, it defines a number of subcategories of cybersecurity outcomes and security controls, with 108 subcategories in all.
The catalog of minimum security controls is found in NIST Special Publication SP 800-53. FIPS 200 identifies 17 broad control families: AC Access Control; AT Awareness and Training; AU Audit and Accountability; CA Security Assessment and Authorization (historical abbreviation) CM Configuration Management; CP Contingency Planning
Select a baseline set of security controls for the information system based on its security categorization. Tailor and supplement the baseline controls as needed, based on an organizational risk assessment and specific local conditions. If applicable, overlays are added in this step. [2] [9] Implement the security controls identified in the ...
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-50, Building an Information Technology Security Awareness and Training Program; International Standards Organization (ISO) 27002:2013, Information technology—Security techniques—Code of practice for information security controls
Existing cybersecurity training and personnel development programs, while good, are limited in focus and lack unity of effort. In order to effectively ensure our continued technical advantage and future cybersecurity, we must develop a technologically-skilled and cyber-savvy workforce and an effective pipeline of future employees.
NIST Special Publication 800-53 is an information security standard that provides a catalog of privacy and security controls for information systems. Originally intended for U.S. federal agencies except those related to national security, since the 5th revision it is a standard for general usage.
Agencies should develop policy on the system security planning process. [6] NIST SP-800-18 introduces the concept of a System Security Plan. [7] System security plans are living documents that require periodic review, modification, and plans of action and milestones for implementing security controls.
The NIST Computer Security Division develops standards, metrics, tests, and validation programs, and it publishes standards and guidelines to increase secure IT planning, implementation, management, and operation. NIST is also the custodian of the U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard publications (FIPS).
