NIST Version 1.1. 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 U.S. Government Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) originally instituted a control systems security program (CSSP) now the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) Industrial Control Systems, which has made available a large set of free National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards ...
In the field of information security, such controls protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information. Systems of controls can be referred to as frameworks or standards. Frameworks can enable an organization to manage security controls across different types of assets with consistency.
Cybersecurity professionals now rely on logging data to perform real-time security functions, driven by governance models that incorporate these processes into analytical tasks. As information assurance matured in the late 1990s and into the 2000s, the need to centralize system logs became apparent.
The PBKDF2 key derivation function has five input parameters: [9] DK = PBKDF2(PRF, Password, Salt, c, dkLen) where: PRF is a pseudorandom function of two parameters with output length hLen (e.g., a keyed HMAC) Password is the master password from which a derived key is generated; Salt is a sequence of bits, known as a cryptographic salt
The Risk Management Framework (RMF) is a United States federal government guideline, standard, and process for managing risk to help secure information systems (computers and networks). The RMF was developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and provides a structured process that integrates information security ...
Cybersecurity engineering is a tech discipline focused on the protection of systems, networks, and data from unauthorized access, cyberattacks, and other malicious activities. It applies engineering principles to the design, implementation, maintenance, and evaluation of secure systems, ensuring the integrity, confidentiality, and availability ...
Information security standards (also cyber security standards [1]) are techniques generally outlined in published materials that attempt to protect a user's or organization's cyber environment. [2] This environment includes users themselves, networks, devices, all software, processes, information in storage or transit, applications, services ...
