The NIST Cybersecurity Framework is a popular solution to help institutions meet the foundational security requirements to effectively manage their risk. We'll outline the steps we took at the University of Notre Dame to adopt the framework with the aim of identifying and remediating security program gaps. Universities are often decentralized and heterogeneous environments, making the adoption of enterprise-wide standards challenging. We'll review how we addressed these issues and offer ideas for other schools to do the same.
