Federal Cybersecurity and Privacy Professionals Forum

Meet the Forum Team

The NIST Cybersecurity & Privacy Professionals Forum is co-chaired by representatives of NIST's Information Technology Laboratory, Computer Security Division (CSD) and Applied Cybersecurity Division (ACD). The Forum Secretariat provides the necessary administrative and logistical support for operations.  
 
The Forum serves as an important mechanism for NIST to:

• exchange information directly with cybersecurity and privacy professionals in U.S. federal, state, and local government, and higher education organizations in fulfillment of its leadership mandate under the Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA);
• establish and maintain relationships with the professionals and organizations actively addressing cybersecurity and privacy issues; and 
• establish and maintain a proactive stance identifying and resolving strategic and tactical cybersecurity and privacy issues involved in the development and application of new and emerging information technologies.
