In this episode of Bare Metal Cyber Presents: Framework, we dive into how the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 can be used as a gap assessment tool to identify weaknesses, prioritize security improvements, and enhance risk management. A gap assessment is more than just finding flaws—it’s about strategically aligning security investments with business goals to reduce risk and improve resilience. We’ll explore how the CSF’s structured approach helps organizations evaluate their cybersecurity maturity, integrate findings into risk management, automate security controls, and continuously reassess their defenses to stay ahead of evolving threats. Whether you're building a cybersecurity program or refining an existing one, this episode will give you the tools to turn assessment results into actionable, measurable improvements.
