Today, many Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and cybersecurity practitioners are looking for effective security controls that will provide their organizations with the ability to identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover from ransomware events. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has published practice guides and guidance to create a standards-based risk management framework to serve this need. This paper outlines the AWS services you can use to help you achieve the prescribed security controls.
This document is intended for cybersecurity professionals, risk management officers, or other organization-wide decision makers considering the implementation of security controls to manage the risks associated with ransomware and other destructive events using the NIST cybersecurity framework in their organization.
