NIST announces the release of Special Publication (SP) 1353 ipd (Initial Public Draft), QuickStart Guide for Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) Analysis and Reporting. This new quick-start guide illustrates practical and actionable ways AI could be used for analyzing, planning, implementing, and monitoring an organization’s progress toward achieving CSF 2.0 outcomes.

The document’s purpose is to:

• Provide structured AI promptsas tools for practitioners to begin creating CSF-related artifacts in support of achieving CSF outcomes
• Identify current state of practice for AI prompt engineering in CSF implementation and analysis

While the focus was not to write about AI best practices or to provide cybersecurity guidelines thereof, there are places where specific precautions are denoted with the /!\ notation.

This guide includes three notional use cases, examples of prompts for structuring natural language inputs to produce specified CSF 2.0...
