Impactful Policy Frameworks
NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 (2024)
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) updated its Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) to version 2.0, expanding its scope beyond critical infrastructure to all organizations and introducing a new 'Govern' function.
This update will push organizations to adopt more comprehensive and integrated cybersecurity risk management strategies, increasing demand for identity-centric security solutions aligned with the framework's updated guidelines.
Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity (EO 14028, 2021)
This U.S. Executive Order mandates significant improvements in federal cybersecurity, including requirements for Zero Trust architecture, enhanced software supply chain security, and improved information sharing.
The EO accelerates the adoption of Zero Trust principles and secure software development practices across federal agencies, creating a strong market pull for advanced identity and access management solutions like those offered by CyberArk.
SEC Cybersecurity Disclosure Rules (2023)
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted new rules requiring public companies to disclose material cybersecurity incidents within four days and to provide annual disclosures about their cybersecurity risk management, strategy, and governance.
These rules significantly heighten the accountability of corporate boards and executives for cybersecurity, driving increased investment in robust security controls, including identity security, to mitigate risks and ensure timely, accurate disclosures.
