NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0: Governance at the Heart of Security

1Introduction

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework has been a leading reference for cyber risk management since 2014. Version 2.0, released in February 2024, extends its scope from critical infrastructure to organisations of every size and sector.

2Discussion

The key change is a new Govern function alongside Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover: cybersecurity becomes part of strategy and enterprise risk management, with clear roles, approved policies and supply-chain risk oversight.

3Conclusion

NIST also published quick-start guides, implementation examples and mappings to other standards. For financial firms, CSF 2.0 provides a shared language between the board and technical teams.
