This pocket guide serves as an introduction to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and to its Cybersecurity Framework (CSF). This is a US focused product. Now more than ever, organizations need to have a strong and flexible cybersecurity strategy in place in order to both protect themselves and be able to continue business in the event of a successful attack. The NIST CSF is a framework for organizations to manage and mitigate cybersecurity risk based on existing standards, guidelines, and practices. With this pocket guide you can: Adapt the CSF for organizations of any size to implementEstablish an entirely new cybersecurity program, improve an existing one, or simply provide an opportunity to review your cybersecurity practicesBreak down the CSF and understand how other frameworks, such as ISO 27001 and ISO 22301, can integrate into your cybersecurity framework By implementing the CSF in accordance with their needs, organizations can manage cybersecurity risks in the most cost-effective way possible, maximizing the return on investment in the organization’s security. This pocket guide also aims to help you take a structured, sensible, risk-based approach to cybersecurity.

This book enhances the original NIST SP 800-53 rev 5 Security and Privacy Controls for Information Systems publication. NIST SP 800-53 rev 5 is a reference publication that establishes controls for federal information systems and organizations. It is used as a key part in the process of protecting and assessing the security posture of information systems. The security controls protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA) of the system and its information. The Publication is enhanced by making the following changes while maintaining the original content:1.Add Illustrations2.Explain Security Controls Purpose and Use in Plain Language (Enhanced Supplemental Guidance) 3.Document Formatting Improvements for Easier Reading 4.Remove Lesser Used Sections

This document provides info. to organizations on the security capabilities of Bluetooth and provide recommendations to organizations employing Bluetooth technologies on securing them effectively. It discusses Bluetooth technologies and security capabilities in technical detail. This document assumes that the readers have at least some operating system, wireless networking, and security knowledge. Because of the constantly changing nature of the wireless security industry and the threats and vulnerabilities to the technologies, readers are strongly encouraged to take advantage of other resources (including those listed in this document) for more current and detailed information. Illustrations.

Covers: elements of computer security; roles and responsibilities; common threats; computer security policy; computer security program and risk management; security and planning in the computer system life cycle; assurance; personnel/user issues; preparing for contingencies and disasters; computer security incident handling; awareness, training, and education; physical and environmental security; identification and authentication; logical access control; audit trails; cryptography; and assessing and mitigating the risks to a hypothetical computer system.

This comprehensive new resource provides an introduction to fundamental Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) models. This book provides valuable information for developing ABAC to improve information sharing within organizations while taking into consideration the planning, design, implementation, and operation. It explains the history and model of ABAC, related standards, verification and assurance, applications, as well as deployment challenges. Readers find authoritative insight into specialized topics including formal ABAC history, ABAC’s relationship with other access control models, ABAC model validation and analysis, verification and testing, and deployment frameworks such as XACML. Next Generation Access Model (NGAC) is explained, along with attribute considerations in implementation. The book explores ABAC applications in SOA/workflow domains, ABAC architectures, and includes details on feature sets in commercial and open source products. This insightful resource presents a combination of technical and administrative information for models, standards, and products that will benefit researchers as well as implementers of ABAC systems in the field.

Cybersecurity Risk Management In Cybersecurity Risk Management: Mastering the Fundamentals Using the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, veteran technology analyst Cynthia Brumfield, with contributions from cybersecurity expert Brian Haugli, delivers a straightforward and up-to-date exploration of the fundamentals of cybersecurity risk planning and management. The book offers readers easy-to-understand overviews of cybersecurity risk management principles, user, and network infrastructure planning, as well as the tools and techniques for detecting cyberattacks. The book also provides a roadmap to the development of a continuity of operations plan in the event of a cyberattack. With incisive insights into the Framework for Improving Cybersecurity of Critical Infrastructure produced by the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Cybersecurity Risk Management presents the gold standard in practical guidance for the implementation of risk management best practices. Filled with clear and easy-to-follow advice, this book also offers readers: A concise introduction to the principles of cybersecurity risk management and the steps necessary to manage digital risk to systems, assets, data, and capabilities A valuable exploration of modern tools that can improve an organization’s network infrastructure protection A practical discussion of the challenges involved in detecting and responding to a cyberattack and the importance of continuous security monitoring A helpful examination of the recovery from cybersecurity incidents Perfect for undergraduate and graduate students studying cybersecurity, Cybersecurity Risk Management is also an ideal resource for IT professionals working in private sector and government organizations worldwide who are considering implementing, or who may be required to implement, the NIST Framework at their organization.
