#    ON-DEMAND WEBINAR :     IDENTIFY, PROTECT, DETECT,   RESPOND & RECOVER 

  Using the 5 areas of the NIST Security Framework to   
 Make Smart Decisions for Your Business 

Small & midsize business (SMB) decision-makers often face uncertainties when it comes cyber-security and risk management practices for their organization. 

The landscape for security and risk continues to change. And for SMBs, the planning and decision-making process is typically left to a C-level person who may or may not be an expert in [IT risk management](https://www.dpsolutions.com/it-support-services/it-security-and-compliance-solutions/security-concepts-and-definitions#risk-management).  Even though they try to make the best choices possible, their planning can have blind spots without a solid framework on which to base their decisions.

Fortunately, the [National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST)](https://www.nist.gov/) has created a strong structure that is free to use and provides direction for cyber-security and IT risk management planning.  It’s called the [NIST Cybersecurity Framework](https://www.nist.gov/cyberframework), and has five areas of focus: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover. 

While no plan is perfect, using these areas as a basis is a good start.

**At this webinar, we will:**

- Dive into the five areas of the NIST framework
- Explain what they mean
- Discuss how to think about them
- Review practical examples of how they apply to typical SMBs

As always, we will have Q&A so you can take this information back and apply it to your organization.
