A Guide to Successfully Implementing the NIST Cybersecurity Framework

"Despite a growing focus on defensive efforts, the number of successful cybersecurity breaches continues to rise. To address the growing threat, in 2013 an Executive Order (EO) was issued that provided a mandate to establish a voluntary common framework for cybersecurity defense.

As a result, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) was tasked with development of a common framework to strengthen cybersecurity defenses across critical infrastructure in all industries and organizations. This is more commonly known as the Cybersecurity Framework (CF). The NIST CF consists of standards, guidelines, and practices to promote the protection of critical infrastructure.

This white paper provides background information on the CF guidance and explains how organizations should use the framework to better manage and reduce cybersecurity risk."

Security Operations Maturity Model

whitePaper | February 20, 2020

As the threat landscape continues to evolve, your cybersecurity efforts must follow suit. With your security operations center (SOC) at the core of your offense against threats, you must ensure that it can handle anything that comes its way. To be effective, you need to mature your SOC to stop threats early — before damage occurs. Whether your SOC is a virtual team of two to three or a 24x7 operation, maturing your security operations capabilities will help you achieve a faster mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to respond (MTTR) to cyberthreats. This white paper explores LogRhythm’s Security Operations Maturity Model (SOMM), which explains how to measure the effectiveness of your security operations. Through the model, you can learn how to mature your security operations capabilities, improving your resilience to cyberthreats.

2023 Hybrid Cloud Security Survey

whitePaper | June 26, 2023

While we are witnessing a modest slowdown in cloud migration due to rising costs and economic uncertainty, it remains that a multitude of organizations now have a hybrid infrastructure in place. According to Forrester analysts,1 this is deemed very much the norm and reports show 72 percent of organizations exist in the hybrid cloud.2 This is because enterprises will likely have paired their own data center/private cloud with one or more public clouds as a result of acquisition or to reap a number of benefits: Cisco, for example, identified 42 percent of organizations believe they achieve a more agile and scalable development environment within the hybrid cloud, alongside 40 percent who realize accelerated business agility and innovation.3
