OT Glossary

The National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework

A framework by NIST for improving cybersecurity risk management. While not OT-specific, it’s widely applied to ICS/OT environments. It comprises six functions – Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover – to organize security efforts. Many organizations use the NIST CSF as a common language to evaluate and improve the security of their control systems.
