In cybersecurity, the best defense is a good offense—sort of. It’s true that today’s SMBs can’t wait for cyberattackers to bring the fight to them; they need to proactively prepare and plan for the worst. But with so many entry points and attack surfaces, how do you know if you’re investing in the right areas? What role do different tools and services play in building an effective security posture? The good news is that you don’t need to start from scratch. There are a number of helpful guidelines you can use to better understand your risk, potential gaps and key focus areas—one of which is the NIST cybersecurity framework.

In this session, we’ll dig into the five pillars of the NIST framework—identify, protect, detect, respond, recover—and help you apply them to your business. You’ll learn what tools and capabilities map to each of those five pillars, how to build a balanced stack that helps you reduce your cyber risk, and more. You’ll also get a handy checklist designed to help you evaluate your existing toolset against the NIST framework.
