Using the cloud lessens the burden on IT departments, freeing them to develop new products and services (often in the cloud). It gives today’s workers the 24/7 access they demand. Cloud services create new efficiencies, drive innovation, and lower costs.

But the cloud also provides new opportunities for cyberthieves who lurk in the dark corners of the web. Attacks are increasing, both in prevalence and disruptive potential. Cyber breaches have almost doubled in the past five years, according to the World Economic Forum, which now lists cyberattacks as third on its list of top global risks.

There are many angles from which to approach cybersecurity. One of the clearest, most comprehensive, most flexible, and most highly-regarded methods we’ve found is the framework devised by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

The NIST framework has five parts, each of which provides a useful lens for evaluating your company’s security and making decisions about how to manage it. This paper provides an overview of the NIST framework and ways you can to use it to strengthen every facet of your company’s defenses against a breach.
