NIST CSF Function PR
The Protect (PR) Function is the primary defensive pillar of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0, operating as the “safeguard” engine since its inception to provide a unified technical response to identified cyber risks. The PR Function supports both infrastructure teams and data owners by offering a suite of proactive controls, such as identity management and encryption, to reduce the likelihood and impact of adverse events and to help make the organization the safest place for business-critical services to operate. Acting as the framework’s “armor,” the PR Function monitors access attempts, issues requirements for security awareness training, coordinates with the Identify function to ensure the most critical assets receive the strongest protections, and serves as the single point of mitigation before an incident occurs, ensuring a coordinated and resilient technical approach to cybersecurity.
