CSF

The Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) is a voluntary set of standards, guidelines, and best practices developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to help organizations manage and reduce cybersecurity risk. While primarily focused on cybersecurity, CSF principles increasingly inform AI governance strategies because AI systems require robust security controls to prevent unauthorized access, data manipulation, and malicious exploitation. Organizations implementing CSF alongside AI governance frameworks create comprehensive risk management programs that address both traditional security threats and AI-specific vulnerabilities.
