Washington, D.C., March 2024 — The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released the updated NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 (NIST CSF 2.0), expanding its guidelines to all industries to address the heightened cyber threat landscape. Originally developed in 2014 to aid critical infrastructure providers, the new framework emphasizes the ubiquity of cyber threats and the importance of robust cybersecurity measures across all sectors.
Rubrik, a leader in data security and cyber resiliency, is well-equipped to help organizations implement NIST CSF 2.0. With input on the framework’s early drafts, Rubrik’s solutions align closely with its objectives, particularly in data protection and cyber resiliency.
Overview of NIST CSF 2.0
NIST CSF 2.0, introduced by NIST Director Laurie Locascio, offers a customizable suite of resources to adapt to evolving cybersecurity needs. It supports the Biden administration’s 2023 National Cybersecurity Strategy and is organized into six core functions: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover.
Rubrik’s Contributions
- Govern (GV.OC-05): Rubrik enables clear visibility into data impact, facilitating collaboration between IT, security managers, and business leaders.
- Identify (ID.AM-07): Rubrik’s Sensitive Data Discovery and Monitoring tools help maintain data inventories and track metadata for risk assessment.
- Protect (PR.DS-01 and PR.DS-11): Rubrik’s immutable backups, data encryption, and secure access controls ensure data security and integrity, critical for mitigating ransomware.
- Detect (DE-CM-09 and DE.AE-04): Rubrik’s threat monitoring and anomaly detection provide early warnings and impact assessments for prompt response.
- Respond (RS.AN-08): Rubrik’s Threat Hunting and Ransomware Response Team assist in incident analysis and recovery.
- Recover (RC.RP-03): Rubrik’s Zero Trust Data Security and Orchestrated Application Recovery validate backup integrity and streamline recovery operations.
