The NIST Cybersecurity Framework: A Proactive SMB Action Plan

As the head of IT for a small business, you are acutely aware of the cyber risks you face. Unfortunately, being a small enterprise no longer shields you from cybercrime; it often makes you a more attractive target.

The harsh reality is that you’re targeted like larger organizations but lack their resources to defend against threats. Fortunately, there is a better way. By refocusing your resources and making strategic technology decisions, you can manage risk more efficiently, reduce stress, and effectively tackle immediate and long-term threats.

How? By utilizing a powerful, free resource: the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (NCSF). Unlike more complex and rigid frameworks, the NCSF is approachable and flexible, suitable for organizations of all sizes. Even small steps with the NCSF can lead to significant rewards.
