NIST CSF 2.0 and Universalizing Cybersecurity
Over the past decade, the proliferation of standards, controls, and sector-specific frameworks has created a paradox where the more guidance exists, the harder it is to weed through the complexity and build secure systems that comply with that guidance. This is where NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 comes in. CSF functions as a translation layer,”¦…

Cyberattacks are more potent because the technology makes it easier to target victims, create deepfake videos or…

The quantum apocalypse is coming sooner than we thought
CSOs can’t afford to watch and wait: Google has upped the ante on PQC migration, Michela Menting, an analyst at ABI Research, tells CSO.That means that enterprises will also need to step up their transition plans, she says, “to align earlier than what they might have originally thought was acceptable based on the NIST deprecation…

NIST Releases Quick-Start Guide Linking Cybersecurity, Enterprise Risk, and Workforce Management
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has officially released Special Publication 1308, a new quick-start guide designed to align cybersecurity, enterprise risk, and workforce management. Published in March 2026, this documentation addresses the growing need for organizations to dynamically adapt their workforce capabilities against rapidly evolving cyber threats. By integrating these traditionally siloed…

FIM Test: A Method for Distinguishing True FIM Capabilities in a Crowd of Claims
<div cla In a previous blog, we presented NIST’s benchmark definition of integrity monitoring. The conclusion was clear: Many vendor claims of file integrity monitoring (FIM) capabilities do not match this definition. Change detection across system components, including files, is crucial and implemented in many tools, including EDR/XDR. However, while these systems often claim FIM…

Telemetry is sparse, proprietary, or intermittent. Many devices communicate only…
