The CyBUr Smart Morning News Update

March 1, 2024 - Friday Op-Ed: NIST CSF 2.0 - I have thoughts

Today's Friday Op-Ed is my opinion on this week's release of the NIST Cyber Security Framework v2.0.  Needless to say, I have some thoughts. And I placed many of them in this article on my substack:  https://cyburguy.substack.com/p/nists-cyber-security-framework-v20.
Please subscribe or find me on LinkedIN.  I am open to dissenting opinions.
Have a good weekend.
