NIST Framework for Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity

Four years after the initial iteration was released, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released version 1.1 of the Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity.

The framework was initially
developed to be a voluntary, risk-based framework to improve
cybersecurity for critical infrastructure in the United States. It’s the
result of an Executive Order 13636
issued by President Obama calling for the development of a set of
standards, guidelines and practices to help organizations charged with
providing the nation’s financial, energy, health care and other critical
systems better protect their information and physical assets from cyber
attack.
