Breaches can inflict devastating financial losses, erode consumer trust, and cripple operations.

The foundation of any strong defense is a robust cybersecurity framework. Frameworks like NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) or MITRE ATT&CK offer a structured approach to identifying, protecting against, detecting, responding to, and recovering from cyberattacks (National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST, 2023; MITRE ATT&CK, 2024). These frameworks provide a standardized roadmap for CISOs to prioritize security controls, measure effectiveness, and continuously improve their security posture.
