NIST
National Institute of Standards and Technology
A US agency that publishes widely used security frameworks and guidance.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology is a United States agency whose publications are widely adopted as security frameworks and guidance, including the Cybersecurity Framework and the Special Publication 800 series. These resources shape risk management, control selection, and compliance programs in both government and private sectors. They are influential because they offer vendor neutral, well vetted practices. For the exam, recognize NIST as a foundational source of frameworks rather than a regulation or a product.
Looking NIST up is step one. Getting tested on it is step two.
