Tasked with creating a cybersecurity policy framework, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) had its work cut out for it\u2014and then some. After all, it\u2019s one thing to agree that organizations and the nation\u2019s critical infrastructure need to be protected. And another to find common ground on how best to proceed. In this episode, we take a look at how the NIST Cybersecurity Framework was born, and where it\u2019s headed once the recently drafted\u2014and more user friendly\u2014updates go into effect.\n\nSome of the topics we cover include:\n\u2022To what degree are both the public and private sectors guided by the Cybersecurity Framework?\n\u2022In what ways does the Cybersecurity Framework address various technologies such as IoT?\n\u2022How does the Cybersecurity Framework weigh in on the challenges specific to vertical industries?
