Unveiling the NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF)

Part 1: Introduction to the NIST Risk Management Framework

We have to start somewhere, and that somewhere, when learning a new topic, makes me think of building a house. In the world of cybersecurity, and more specifically, in the world of governance, risk, and compliance, it’s important to start with frameworks. Frameworks are, well, like the frame of the structure. They won’t tell you what goes inside the structure or what colors to paint your walls, but they will help you support it with all of the details you plan to add.

To start in this endeavor of learning about the NIST Risk Management Framework, we’re going to make no assumptions about the foundation, which, in this case, is cybersecurity and risk management. We’ll start by diving into the knowledge you need to build upon a solid foundation. We’ll then provide an overview of the RMF as a whole and what some of the benefits may be for you and your organization to consider.

Cybersecurity is a team sport, and as the old adage goes, “A rising tide lifts all ships.” I can’t wait to get started.

This part has the following chapters:

  • Chapter 1, Understanding Cybersecurity and Risk Management
  • Chapter 2, NIST Risk Management Framework Overview
  • Chapter 3, Benefits of Implementing the NIST Risk Management Framework

I picked up a copy of Unveiling the NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF) because I wanted to better understand the RMF process. As a cybersecurity professional I knew about NIST and its importance, but I did not have much experience with compliance. After reading this book I better understand how to implement this framework for use in my environment. The book also ties NIST with increasing the efficiency of incident response and investigations of security incidents. Overall I believe that Unveiling the NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF) does a great job of educating the reader on how to manage and mitigate risk.

I recently received a copy of Packt Publishing’s Unveiling the NIST Risk Management Framework: A practical guide to implementing RMF and managing risks in your organization by Thomas Marsland. This guide breaks down using and implementing a risk management framework within your organization. Understanding the risks at the organizational and technical level are the first steps in managing and monitoring the vulnerabilities and threats of your organization. This book breaks down the NIST RMF in a manner that allows you to go step by step through the process. These steps allow you to build a risk aware organization from top to bottom. NIST makes documents available at no charge, including the NIST SP 800-37 v2, which this book is based. The book breaks down this document and is an excellent accompanying guide to the document. Chapter 9 and 10 are particularly helpful with guidance for the RMF for cloud implementation and use case scenarios, respectively. For anyone that wants to understand how to implement a risk management framework within your organization, I highly recommend this book.
