ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What cybersecurity framework should your organization actually be using?
In this episode of Direct Connect, Steve Parker and Stacy Bresler break down one of the most common—and most misunderstood—questions in cybersecurity: Which framework is right for you?
From NIST CSF 2.0 to ISO 27001, IEC 62443, and even NERC CIP, they explore:
Why sticking with your current framework might be the smartest move
When (and how) to layer multiple frameworks together
The difference between frameworks, control catalogs, and maturity models
How to align cybersecurity with real-world operational needs in critical infrastructure
Why governance should come first—before technology
💡 Key takeaway: There is no “one-size-fits-all” framework—but there is a smarter way to build a defensible, scalable security program.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or refining an existing program, this conversation will help you cut through the noise and focus on what actually works.
