Architectural Mapping to NIST CSF 2.0 with Hillstone Networks

This white paper presents a detailed examination of how Hillstone Networks aligns its cybersecurity architecture with the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF) 2.0. It outlines the evolution of the NIST CSF from its inception in 2014 to the latest version released in 2024, which introduces a new core function, 'Govern'. The document describes the challenges organizations face in modern cybersecurity, such as visibility blind spots and the disconnection between strategy and execution. Hillstone Networks proposes an 'Integrative Cybersecurity' architecture that focuses on Coverage, Control, and Consolidation to address these issues. The paper details how Hillstone's products and services map to the six core functions of NIST CSF 2.0, emphasizing the importance of aligning technical capabilities with corporate governance. By leveraging a combination of technology, professional services, and training, Hillstone aims to enhance cyber resilience and ensure business continuity for enterprises.
