Combinatorial Testing for AI-Enabled Systems CT4AIES
*NEW*  Short course from the Defense and Aerospace Test and Analysis Workshop 2025 (Dataworks 2025) - complete course presentation here. The goal of this project is to provide practitioners and researchers with a foundational understanding of combinatorial testing techniques and applications to testing AI-enabled software systems (AIES).   Resources are being developed in these areas: Combinatorial testing (CT),  applying CT to test traditional software systems, including real-world...
Cybersecurity Supply Chain Risk Management C-SCRM
C-SCRM News | C-SCRM Resources Cybersecurity Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM) involves identifying, assessing, and mitigating the risks associated with the distributed and interconnected nature of Information Communications Technology and Operational Technology (ICT/OT)  product and service supply chains throughout the entire life cycle of a system (including design, development, distribution, deployment, acquisition, maintenance, and destruction). Examples of risks include insertion of...
Federal Cybersecurity and Privacy Professionals Forum
The Federal Cybersecurity and Privacy Professionals Forum is an informal group sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to promote the sharing of cybersecurity and privacy knowledge, best practices, and resources among U.S. federal, state, and local government, and at higher education organizations handling federal information.  The Federal Cybersecurity and Privacy Professionals Forum ("the Forum") maintains an extensive email list, and holds virtual events to...
macOS Security APPLE-OS
NIST has traditionally published secure configuration guides for Apple operating systems, e.g., NIST SP 800-179. The macOS Security Compliance Project (mSCP) seeks to simplify the macOS security development cycle by reducing the amount of effort required to implement security baselines. This collaboration between federal organizations minimizes the duplicate effort that would be required to administer individual security baselines. Additionally, the secure baseline content provided is easily...
Multi-Cloud Security Public Working Group MCSPWG
Cloud computing has become the core accelerator of the US Government's digital business transformation. NIST is establishing a Multi-Cloud Security Public Working Group (MCSPWG) to research best practices for securing complex cloud solutions involving multiple service providers and multiple clouds.   The White House Executive Order on Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity highlights that “the Federal Government needs to make bold changes and significant investments in order to defend the vital...
Open Security Controls Assessment Language OSCAL
The Open Security Controls Assessment Language (OSCAL) is a NIST-led initiative created in partnership with industry to improve and automate security and compliance workflows. It introduces open, machine-readable formats in XML, JSON, and YAML that simplify control-based risk assessments and compliance activities. Through automation, OSCAL can reduce audit timelines from months to just minutes, decrease the likelihood of human error, and help organizations adapt more quickly to the changing...
REDLedger - REdactable Distributed Ledger
Hyperledger Fabric drop-in component for data block matrix is now available.  Privacy laws increasingly require some types of data to be erased at user request, according to GDPR and related regulations. We have developed a secure distributed trust solution for networks using Next-Generation Database Access Control (NDAC) and the Data Block Matrix (DBM), with an open source implementation of the DBM using Hyperledger Fabric.  This Hyperledger Fabric component solves the conflict between...
Secure Software Development Framework SSDF
NIST has finalized SP 800-218A, Secure Software Development Practices for Generative AI and Dual-Use Foundation Models: An SSDF Community Profile. This publication augments SP 800-218 by adding practices, tasks, recommendations, considerations, notes, and informative references that are specific to AI model development throughout the software development life cycle. NIST has recently added a Community Profiles section to this page. It will contain links to SSDF Community Profiles developed by...
Systems Security Engineering (SSE) Project SSE
Systems security engineering contributes to a broad-based and holistic security perspective and focus within the systems engineering effort. This ensures that stakeholder protection needs and security concerns associated with the system are properly identified and addressed in all systems engineering tasks throughout the system life cycle. Mission Statement... To provide a basis to formalize a discipline for systems security engineering in terms of its principles, concepts, and activities....
