Announcement
Draft NISTIR 8050 summarizes the Executive Technical Workshop on Improving Cybersecurity and Consumer Privacy, held in collaboration with Stanford University, which brought together chief technology officers, information officers, and security executives to discuss the challenges their organizations and industries face in implementing advanced cybersecurity and privacy technologies.
Cybersecurity incidents have grown swiftly from conceivable to realized risks that regularly threaten national and economic security of the United States. These risks threaten the financial security of companies and the public, weaken consumer confidence, erode individual privacy protections, and damage the brand value and reputation of businesses. On February 12, 2015 the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Stanford University hosted an executive technical workshop, held in coordination with the White House Summit on Cybersecurity and Consumer Protection, to discuss how to increase the use of advanced cybersecurity and privacy technologies in consumer-facing organizations. This document details the discussion and ideas presented at the workshop and serves as a platform to receive broader feedback on the relevance of projects and suggestions discussed at that event.
