Closing the Integrity Gap with NIST’s Cybersecurity Framework
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework provides a flexible, risk-based roadmap for organizations to identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover from cyber threats while emphasizing integrity management as a core principle. It aligns security goals with business priorities and promotes communication between technical teams and executives. Integrity management ensures system trustworthiness by controlling authorized changes and monitoring vulnerabilities. Fortra’s Tripwire solutions support all five NIST functions through automated configuration management, vulnerability detection, and continuous monitoring, enabling organizations to maintain system integrity, reduce risks, and strengthen operational resilience.
