Cybersecurity works best when it works with people, not against them — and that's exactly what human-centered cybersecurity (HCC) is all about. The Human-Centered Technologies team at NIST is releasing a concept paper on HCC, and we want your input. Our goal is to build a shared understanding of what HCC really means, then chart a path toward practical guidelines and resources that organizations can actually use to make meaningful change by: Clarifying whether HCC is primarily an approach—measured by indicators of adoption and maturity—or an outcome—requiring other measures of success such...

OSCAL is organized in a series of layers that each provides a set of models. A model represents an information structure supporting a specific operational purpose or concept. Each model is comprised of information structures that form an information model for each OSCAL model. This information model is then bound to multiple serialization formats (i.e., XML, JSON, YAML), which represent a concrete data model. Thus, a data model defines how to represent an OSCAL information model in a serialized format. While the syntax of each format differs, all formats for a given model represent the same...

This page provides resources for the OSCAL metaschema framework, which provides the modeling language and Java components used to generate and process OSCAL schemas and content across XML, Java, and YAML formats. For more information, please visit the official NIST OSCAL page. OSCAL Metaschema: An OSCAL metaschema is a format-agnostic modeling language and framework to define the data structures and models utilize metaschemas for the definition fields. Metaschema modeling language - a language developed by NIST, used to generate a schema for a corresponding information model in a...
