The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) published SP 800-61 Rev. 3, titled “Incident Response Recommendations and Considerations for Cybersecurity Risk Management: A CSF 2.0 Community Profile.” This updated guide supersedes the previous version from 2012 and is designed to help organizations integrate effective cybersecurity incident response strategies within their broader risk management framework, as outlined in the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0.
The publication emphasizes the importance of proactive incident response, aiming to reduce both the frequency and impact of cybersecurity incidents. It provides key recommendations for improving the detection, response, and recovery processes, ultimately enhancing an organization’s ability to manage cybersecurity risks. Organizations are encouraged to leverage the document’s insights alongside online resources to optimize the implementation of these strategies and strengthen their overall cybersecurity posture. For more information on implementing these strategies, read the NIST SP 800-61 Rev. 3 publication.
