Centers in the MEP National NetworkTM assist small and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) on managing their Cybersecurity risks using a variety of tools, including adoption of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (https://www.nist.gov/cyberframework/framework).
The recent release of version 1.1 of the Framework explains how the Framework can be used by manufacturers to understand and assess their cybersecurity risk.
The Cybersecurity Framework is designed to reduce risk by improving the management of cybersecurity risk. Manufacturers using the Framework can measure and assign values to their risk along with the cost and benefits of steps taken to reduce risk. The better a manufacturer can measure its cybersecurity risk and costs, the more effective its cybersecurity solutions will be. Over time, self-assessment should improve decision-making on a manufacturer’s cybersecurity investment priorities. The Framework can be used to self-assess cybersecurity risk.
