Recordings of the webinar are available now – please see below for descriptions of the two sessions and links to the recordings.
Webinar 1: Cybersecurity Framework Overview

Webinar 2: Cybersecurity Framework Update
This webinar provided participants with an opportunity to further explore proposed updates to the Framework. In January, NIST released Framework draft version 1.1, which seeks to clarify, refine, and enhance the Framework.
