The Gold Standard for Security
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework is the most well-respected model for organizational security posture. It provides five core functions that every organization should implement.
The Five Functions
1. Identify
Understanding your security environment, assets, and risk landscape.
SHANGO agents: SCAN continuously discovers assets. ORACLE-SEC maps your attack surface. AEGIS identifies compliance gaps.
2. Protect
Safeguarding critical services and implementing protective measures.
SHANGO agents: CIPHER encrypts data. NEXUS-SEC enforces zero-trust access control. FORGE-SEC protects code integrity.
3. Detect
Discovering cybersecurity events through continuous monitoring.
SHANGO agents: SENTINEL provides 24/7 monitoring. REAPER actively hunts threats. PHANTOM deploys honeypots to lure attackers.
4. Respond
Taking action on detected incidents to contain damage.
SHANGO agents: SENTINEL orchestrates automated response playbooks, isolating threats in milliseconds. No human delay.
5. Recover
Restoring capabilities and services after incidents.
SHANGO agents: DRIFT detects and rolls back unauthorized changes. CIPHER ensures data recovery from encrypted, immutable backups.
SHANGO Doesn't Just Support NIST
Most security vendors claim NIST compliance. SHANGO automates all five functions with AI agents that operate 24/7/365. The difference between "supporting" a framework and "implementing" it is the difference between a policy document and actual protection.
