COLUMBIA, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Tenable Network Security, Inc., a global leader transforming security technology for the business needs of tomorrow, revealed today that overall security confidence was higher for organizations leveraging the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity(Cybersecurity Framework), according to findings from the Trends in Security Framework Adoption Survey (PDF).
The survey tallied responses from more than 300 U.S. security professionals from organizations of all sizes across key industry verticals to better understand the adoption patterns of the top security frameworks. While 84 percent of survey respondents reported using at least one security framework, 16 percent still do not leverage any security framework. According to survey data, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework is the most likely security framework to be adopted by organizations over the next year.
“Historically, CISOs have been hesitant to take full advantage of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework because of a high investment requirement and a lack of regulatory mandate,” said Ron Gula, CEO, Tenable Network Security. “This is changing as organizations begin to shift their mindset from moment-in-time compliance with frameworks like PCI DSS to continuous conformance with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.”
Despite 70 percent of respondents praising the NIST Cybersecurity Framework as an industry best practice, more than 50 percent of current and future adopters said the level of investment needed in order to fully conform with the framework was high. For the full article click here
