The Framework

Your security posture, mapped live.

The Cyber Defense Matrix organizes your cybersecurity capabilities across the five core functions of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, then maps each function against the assets that actually run your business: devices, applications, networks, data, and people. The result is a clear, visual picture of where you are strong, where you overlap, and where the real gaps live.

01
IDENTIFY
Know what you have, what matters, and what is exposed.
02
PROTECT
Put the right controls around the assets that matter most.
03
DETECT
See activity early: anomalies, intrusions, drift.
04
RESPOND
Act fast and contain when something does happen.
05
RECOVER
Restore operations and learn forward from the event.

Identify and Protect lean on tools and automation. Detect, Respond, and Recover depend on people, coordination, and governance. The matrix shows you both, and where the balance is off.

Why Attend the CDM Summit?

The Cyber Defense Matrix (CDM) is a framework that organizes cybersecurity capabilities across the five core functions of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. The framework maps these functions against key assets like devices, applications, networks, data, and people. Once the exercise is complete, it provides a clear way to see strengths, spot gaps, and build a balanced security strategy.


What you’ll walk away with:
Walk away with a  fully completed CDM tailored to your organization. Built by you with the help of one of our trusted cybersecurity experts (a $1,500 value).
