==Network and Information Security (NIS2)==

NIST Framework CSF 1.1 overview:

The NIST framework Core consists of:

• Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover as functions and 108 subcategories.

The NIST framework Tiers consists of:

• Tier 1 (partial): Informal, reactive processes.
• Tier 2 (Risk-Informed): Approved policies, risk management.
• Tier 3 (Repeatable): Formalized processes, risk integration.
• Tier 4 (Adaptive): Continuous improvement, dynamic adaptation. The NIST framework Profiles consists of:
• Current Profile: Assesses existing cybersecurity practices.
• Target Profile: Defines desired cybersecurity outcomes.
• Gap Analysis: Compares profiles to prioritize improvements.

Purpose: Align cybersecurity with business goals and enhance resilience.
