Abstract: Cybersecurity standards are guidelines or best practices that are used by organizations to improve their security posture. They use the standards to identify and implement appropriate measures to protect their data and systems from threats. Similarly, these mechanisms are guided by a set of cyber security standards. These standards are set to help improve the security of organizational networks, information technology infrastructure, and critical infrastructures. The assurance and functional requirements of a system, product, technology, or process are specified by these standards. Establishing a good cybersecurity standard assist in achieving uniformity in product development and is also useful when procuring security products. Similarly, they are critical in avoiding information leakage, securing vital information, and meeting regulatory requirements. The present work addresses the NIST Cybersecurity standard, ISO/IEC 27001, and CIS Critical Security Controls as some of the most crucial international cybersecurity standards. It also contains some specific types of standards, such as HIPAA, GDPR, FISMA, and PCI-DSS.
