NIST Resources for Ransomware Risk Management Webinar

On Wednesday, Jan. 28, join speakers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Center for Internet Security (CIS) and the Institute for Security and Technology (IST) for a webinar reviewing ransomware risk management resources that help organizations establish foundational safeguards.

The webinar will highlight two resources:

• NIST Ransomware Risk Management CSF 2.0 Community Profile—published as an Initial Public Draft on Jan. 13, 2025, reflects changes made to the Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) from CSF 1.1 to CSF 2.0 which identifies security objectives that support managing, detecting, responding to, and recovering from ransomware events. It can be used to assess organizational readiness to counter ransomware threats, mitigate potential consequences of a ransomware event, and develop a ransomware response playbook.
• The IST and the Ransomware Task Force Blueprint for Ransomware Defense, which provides small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with an actionable framework to defend against common ransomware attacks. The blueprint is based on a subset of Implementation Group 1 (IG1) Safeguards from the CIS Critical Security Controls (CIS Controls) v8 and aligned with NIST’s Cybersecurity Framework 2.0.
