Cybersecurity Risk Management
In this episode of Bare Metal Cyber Presents: Framework, we explore the critical role of risk management in the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 (CSF 2.0). Cyber threats evolve rapidly, and organizations must adopt a proactive, risk-informed approach to cybersecurity rather than relying on outdated compliance checklists. We break down how CSF 2.0 integrates risk management into its six core functions—Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover—providing a structured methodology for assessing, prioritizing, and mitigating cyber risks. From evaluating threats and vulnerabilities to implementing effective risk treatment strategies, this episode highlights how businesses can enhance resilience while optimizing cybersecurity investments.
Beyond assessments, we discuss the importance of continuous risk monitoring, reassessment, and improvement to ensure security controls remain effective against emerging threats. We explore real-world examples of risk-based cybersecurity, such as access control measures, encryption strategies, and proactive incident response planning. Whether you’re refining your risk management program or looking to align cybersecurity efforts with business objectives, this episode provides actionable insights on strengthening your organization’s defenses through strategic, data-driven risk management. Tune in to learn how to anticipate, withstand, and recover from cyber threats with CSF 2.0’s risk-based approach.
