When reading the “Framework for improving Critical infrastructure Cybersecurity” by the National Institute of Standards and Technology it simply explains how important and useful framework is to the United states. Also, how it is so reliable to our very own infrastructure. Giving the ability to the United States to detect, prevent, and respond accordingly to any cyber-attacks that come their way. And that is very important because it helps keep top secret information safe, and or to relate to businesses, it helps keep their information safe. Framework can be effective across the board and help aid in various technological innovations. “The framework is not a one size fits all approach to managing cybersecurity risk for infrastructure, Organizations will continue to have their own unique risk with different threats, vulnerabilities, and risk tolerances” (Framework). Framework does have a “core”. And also has core functions. There are five of these function’s and they are Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. To identify, it is the organization or business understanding the resources provided that help prioritize the strategy. Protect is for the support or control to contain and prepare for any cybersecurity attack. Detect is to be able to catch any cybersecurity or enable one from happening within a timely manner. Respond is the appropriate way to take action against a cyber-attack happening and containing any incident. Last but not least is Recover, and this is for there to be a plan on if and when an attack happens how will the company recover from it and to help reduce what has already happened and the impact of the situation. All of these are the core of framework and help aid in cyber security attack preventions. They almost act as steps to take when one is happening and how to properly handle a situation. Being able to detect, then protect, and recovering after are very important within and outside of any organization, business, and our own US government.
