The third core component of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) Version 2.0 is - Tiers. 🔍 What are Tiers? Tiers define how organizations view and manage cybersecurity risk. They help assess current practices and align activities with business needs. 🏢 The Four Tiers of the CSF: Tier 1: Partial – Ad hoc approach, limited risk awareness. Tier 2: Risk Informed – Awareness of risks, informal processes. Tier 3: Repeatable – Formal processes, established risk management. Tier 4: Adaptive – Agile processes, continuous improvement. 📈 Why Tiers Matter: Tiers help organizations benchmark cybersecurity, identify improvement areas, develop a maturity roadmap, and align efforts with business goals. Leveraging Tiers enhances cybersecurity capabilities and safeguards assets from evolving threats. #Cybersecurity #NIST #CSF #RiskManagement #CyberResilience #BusinessContinuity
