The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework provides a policy framework of computer security guidance for how private sector organizations in the United States can assess and improve their ability to prevent, detect, and respond to cyberattacks.1 It can be used to help
identify and prioritize actions for reducing cybersecurity risk, and it is a tool for aligning policy, business, and technological approaches to managing that risk. Different types of entities—including sector coordinating structures, associations, and organizations—can use the Framework for different purposes.

As attacks on soft targets and crowded places continue across the globe, the need to address current and emerging challenges increases. Therefore, the Department of Homeland Security and Department of State are working together to enhance domestic and global security, with ongoing programs, and recognizing that new approaches may be needed to address these evolving issues.
