NIST publishes NISTIR 8322, Workshop Summary Report for “Building the Federal Profile for IoT Device Cybersecurity” Virtual Workshop.
Abstract: This report summarizes the feedback received on the work of the NIST Cybersecurity for IoT program on device cybersecurity at a virtual workshop in July 2020. NISTIR 8259, Foundational Cybersecurity Activities for IoT Device Manufacturers and NISTIR 8259A, IoT Device Cybersecurity Capability Co...
A new NIST Cybersecurity Practice Guide, NIST SP 1800-24, is now available: "Securing Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS): Cybersecurity for the Healthcare Sector."
Abstract: Medical imaging plays an important role in diagnosing and treating patients. The system that manages medical images is known as the picture archiving communication system (PACS) and is nearly ubiquitous in healthcare environments. PACS is defined by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a Class...
Four draft guidance documents on defining IoT cybersecurity requirements--for federal agencies and IoT device manufacturers--are now available for comment through February 26, 2021: Draft SP 800-213 and Draft NISTIRs 8259B/C/D.
Abstract: The core baseline in NISTIR 8259A, IoT Device Cybersecurity Capability Core Baseline and the non-technical baseline in NISTIR 8259B, IoT Manufacturer Non-Technical Supporting Capability Core Baseline can be expanded upon based on more specific contextual information. Using source material with infor...
Draft NISTIR 8286A, "Identifying and Estimating Cybersecurity Risk for Enterprise Risk Management," is available for comment through February 1, 2021.
NIST has issued supplemental materials and errata updates for both SP 800-53 Rev. 5 and SP 800-53B, which were originally published in September 2020. New materials include control mappings and control comparisons.
Abstract: This publication provides a catalog of security and privacy controls for information systems and organizations to protect organizational operations and assets, individuals, other organizations, and the Nation from a diverse set of threats and risks, including hostile attacks, human errors, natural d...
NIST's NCCoE is publishing two Cybersecurity Practice Guides for data integrity that address identifying and protecting assets against--and detecting and responding to--ransomware and other destructive events. Special Publications (SP) 1800-25 and 1800-26 are now available.
Abstract: Ransomware, destructive malware, insider threats, and even honest mistakes present an ongoing threat to organizations that manage data in various forms. Database records and structure, system files, configurations, user files, application code, and customer data are all potential targets of data cor...
Abstract: Ransomware, destructive malware, insider threats, and even honest user mistakes present ongoing threats to organizations. Organizations’ data, such as database records, system files, configurations, user files, applications, and customer data, are all potential targets of data corruption, modificati...
The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) at NIST has released Draft NISTIR 8320A, "Hardware-Enabled Security: Container Platform Security Prototype." The public comment period closes January 29, 2021.
Journal: Computer (IEEE Computer) Abstract: Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) campaigns employ sophisticated strategies and tactics to achieve their attack goal. The evolution of APT strategies and tactics compounds the challenge of detecting attack campaigns. This article introduces an approach whose purpose is to assist cybersecurity analyst...
Abstract: The National Online Informative References (OLIR) Program is a NIST effort to facilitate subject matter experts in defining standardized Online Informative References (OLIRs), which are relationships between elements of their documents and elements of other documents like the NIST Cybersecurity Fram...

Abstract: Smart home technologies may expose adopters to increased risk to network security, information privacy, and physical safety. However, users may lack understanding of the privacy and security implications, while devices fail to provide transparency and configuration options. This results in little me...
NIST's National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) has released an update of its Workforce Framework for Cybersecurity (NICE Framework) in Special Publication 800-181 Revision 1.
Abstract: This publication from the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) describes the Workforce Framework for Cybersecurity (NICE Framework), a fundamental reference for describing and sharing information about cybersecurity work. It expresses that work as Task statements and describes Know...
In response to Executive Order 13905, NIST is releasing Draft NISTIR 8323, "Cybersecurity Profile for the Responsible Use of Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) Services." The public comment period closes November 23, 2020; all relevant comment received will be posted publicly.
Abstract: The proliferation of cloud computing, mobile device use, and the Internet of Things has dissolved conventional network boundaries. The workforce is more distributed, with remote workers who need access to resources anytime, anywhere, and on any device, to support the mission. Enterprises must evolve...
NISTIR 8286, "Integrating Cybersecurity and Enterprise Risk Management (ERM)," is now available.
Abstract: The increasing frequency, creativity, and severity of cybersecurity attacks means that all enterprises should ensure that cybersecurity risk is receiving appropriate attention within their enterprise risk management (ERM) programs. This document is intended to help individual organizations within an...
(Updated: Friday, September 18, 2020): This workshop was rescheduled from August 24 to Wednesday, October 7. Workshop Objectives The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will host a virtual workshop on Wednesday, October 7, 2020. The purpose of the workshop is to discuss the challenges and investigate the practical and implementable approaches to ease the migration from the current set of public key cryptographic algorithms to replacement algorithms that are resistant to quantum computer based attacks. This effort complements the NIST post-quantum cryptography (PQC)...
NIST has published NISTIR 8183 Revision 1, "Cybersecurity Framework Version 1.1 Manufacturing Profile."
