Strengthen your cybersecurity defenses with DNS security solutions from Cygna Labs

To help IT organizations protect and defend their networks against potential risks, the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technologies (NIST) has published a cybersecurity framework which organizations may apply when assessing and defining their own cybersecurity plans. This NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) is a de facto security implementation standard not only for the U.S. government, but for organizations worldwide. Given the foundational functions of DHCP, DNS and IPAM (DDI) supporting your network, applying these cybersecurity principles to your DDI infrastructure is imperative.

The CSF defines a common lexicon to facilitate documentation and communication of security requirements and level of current and targeted implementations. In addition, the framework enables an organization to identify risks and to prioritize the mitigation of risks with respect to business priorities and available resources. В The framework core defines security activities across five major functions: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. A sixth major function, Govern, is planned for the forthcoming CSF 2.0 coming in 2024.
