🔒🌐 Welcome to our #CyberSecuritySeries! Today, we're diving into popular cybersecurity frameworks, namely NIST, ISO/IEC 27001, and CIS Critical Security Controls. These frameworks guide organisations to establish strong security practices. 🛡️🔐

📘 First up, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. Developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the USA 🇺🇸, this framework is a set of voluntary standards, guidelines, and best practices to manage cybersecurity risk. Its flexible design allows organisations of all types and sizes to apply the principles and best practices of risk management to improving the security and resilience of critical infrastructure.

Next, we have ISO/IEC 27001 🌐. This is an international standard that provides a model for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining, and improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS). The standard is designed to help organisations manage their security practices in one place, consistently and cost-effectively.

Finally, let's look at the CIS Critical Security Controls ⚙️🔧. These are a recommended set of actions for cyber defence which provide specific and actionable ways to stop today's most pervasive and dangerous attacks. The CIS Controls are developed, refined, and validated by a community of leading experts around the world 🌍.

All these frameworks play a crucial role in guiding organisations to establish strong security practices. Each has its strengths, and the choice between them depends on the specific needs and context of your organisation 💼.

🔑 Remember, a robust cybersecurity framework isn't just about preventing attacks but also about quick recovery and minimising damage when they do occur. Stay safe, stay secure! 💪🔒

Until next time, keep your data locked down and your network secure. 🚀🛡️💻
