Last paragraph, third line from bottom of page.

Improper link to cited (directly quoted material). Referenced link sends you to a NIST error page stating that is not a standard. Secondly in the text the name of the standard is not stated. However, since I do have familiarity with NIST pub I did do some research. The material directly quoted in the book is from NIST "Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity", Ver 1.1, April 16, 2018. Unfortunately, URLs are not allowed to be submitted here.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Link sends you to (https://www.nist.gov/sites/default/files/documents/cyberframework/cybersecurity-framework-021214.pdf) which nist has removed. It's now sending readers to https://www.nist.gov/cyberframework
