(Updated: Friday, September 18, 2020): This workshop was rescheduled from September 1 to Monday, October 5. Workshop Objectives The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will host a virtual workshop on theAutomation of the NIST Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) on Monday, October 5, 2020. The number of cryptographic module validations has outstripped the available human resources for timely validation processing. This phenomenon is affecting all stakeholders participating in the CMVP (vendors, labs, and validators alike). The purpose of the workshop is to...

NIST recently issued a Request for Information (RFI) asking for information that would improve the effectiveness of the Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) for a potential update. As a part of this initiative, NIST wants to better understand how the CSF is being used today and to learn what’s working and what’s not. NIST also wants to explore better ways to align the CSF with other NIST guidance, such as the Privacy Framework, Secure Software Development Framework, Risk Management Framework, NICE Workforce Framework, and its series on IoT cybersecurity. NIST wants to know what would help use...
