Unveiling the NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF)

Part 1: Introduction to the NIST Risk Management Framework

We have to start somewhere, and that somewhere, when learning a new topic, makes me think of building a house. In the world of cybersecurity, and more specifically, in the world of governance, risk, and compliance, it’s important to start with frameworks. Frameworks are, well, like the frame of the structure. They won’t tell you what goes inside the structure or what colors to paint your walls, but they will help you support it with all of the details you plan to add.

To start in this endeavor of learning about the NIST Risk Management Framework, we’re going to make no assumptions about the foundation, which, in this case, is cybersecurity and risk management. We’ll start by diving into the knowledge you need to build upon a solid foundation. We’ll then provide an overview of the RMF as a whole and what some of the benefits may be for you and your organization to consider.

Cybersecurity is a team sport, and as the old adage goes, “A rising tide lifts all ships.” I can’t wait to get started.

This part has the following chapters:

  • Chapter 1, Understanding Cybersecurity and Risk Management
  • Chapter 2, NIST Risk Management Framework Overview
  • Chapter 3, Benefits of Implementing the NIST Risk Management Framework

Key benefits

  • Implement NIST RMF with step-by-step instructions for effective security operations
  • Draw insights from case studies illustrating the application of RMF principles in diverse organizational environments
  • Discover expert tips for fostering a strong security culture and collaboration between security teams and the business

Description

Overcome the complexities of the NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF) with this comprehensive and practical resource.

Complete with clear explanations, best practices, and real-world examples, this book guides you through the RMF process, covering its history, components, and stages. You’ll then delve into the RMF approach—prepare, categorize, select, implement, assess, authorize, and monitor—and deepen your understanding as you explore real-world case studies. The book also focuses on cultivating practical skills for implementing the RMF in your organization, covering essential tasks such as forming a security team, conducting security assessments, and preparing for audits. What’s more? You’ll learn how to establish continuous monitoring processes, develop robust incident response plans, and analyze security incidents efficiently. By the end of this risk management book, you’ll have gained the practical skills and confidence to systematically manage and mitigate cybersecurity risks within your organization.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
