AWS has a huge library of fantastic resources. This post highlights the recently updated whitepaper aligning the NIST Cybersecurity Framework to AWS.

“NIST Cybersecurity Framework, Aligning to the NIST CSF in the AWS Cloud”, does exactly what the subtitle promises.

the structure of the paper is simple. a few use cases and then best practices by @nistcyber CSF core function:

– identify
– protect
– detect
– respond
– recover

…and finally an alignment of @awscloud services with the framework

the use cases are handy, but really ANYONE can benefit from looking at the framework. it’s right on pg 3, @nistcyber CSF is “a simple-yet-effective construct” for your security efforts

it looks at practice, outcomes, and controls

as an aside, @nistcyber has documented the framework thoroughly. you can check it out at https://www.nist.gov/cyberframework

at that site, you’ll find the framework, a “new to framework” guide, and material for learning specific aspects of the CSF
