How to Jumpstart Your NIST Cybersecurity Framework Maturity: Recover Function

Brian Proctor | April 8, 2020
In this final post of our series, we’ll discuss the fifth Function of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, Recover. This Function requires organizations to develop and implement activities to restore capabilities or services that were impaired due to a cybersecurity event. To comply, organizations need to put a recovery plan into place to get back to their last “known good” state, be able to coordinate restoration activities with external parties and incorporate lessons learned into an updated recovery strategy.
These are some of the advanced use cases we’re seeing in the field from our customers who are using Forescout to mature their compliance with the Recover Function of NIST CSF in operational technology (OT) environments:
Having historical knowledge of your devices, including firmware and software changes, also helps you get back to your last “known good” state faster. Our customers can go back to any point in time historically to look at an asset’s information, understand what firmware and software it was running, and ensure that they are mirroring that point in time when things were working well.
