Security Frameworks

Stay Protected in Critical Situations

Every day we read about new kinds of cyberattacks, and keeping up with them is a constant challenge to protect your clients. What’s the best method for auditing critical business systems to ensure they are undisturbed? Adopting a cybersecurity framework is the answer. Not only are you able to accurately and effectively audit your client's environments, but it also enhances your reputation and adds response capabilities.

Select the Right Security Framework

There are several cybersecurity frameworks that MSPs and MSSPs can use. Here are a few to consider.

A risk-based framework that businesses use to manage and reduce cybersecurity risk, even after a breach has happened. NIST CSF is organized into five core functions: identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover.

A phased approach framework primarily used in security operations to detect and prevent cyberattacks. Using end-to-end tactics in stages: reconnaissance, weaponization, delivery, exploitation, installation, command & control, and actions on objectives.

A behavior approach framework that addresses four key use cases: threat intelligence, detection & analytics, adversary emulation & red teaming, and assessment & engineering. Uses data from past attacks to assess tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to assess potential response steps.

An international series of cybersecurity standards that specifies the requirements for implementing and continually improving an information security management system (ISMS). Developed to help private companies build and maintain information security management systems.
