The Final Public Draft Cybersecurity Framework Manufacturing Profile is now available for public comment.
Abstract: This bulletin summarizes the information in NISTIR 7621, Revision 1: Small Business Information Security: The Fundamentals. The bulletin presents the fundamentals of a small business information security program.
Abstract: Industrial Control Systems (ICS) monitor and control physical processes in many different industries and sectors. Cyber attacks against ICS devices present a real threat to organizations that employ ICS to monitor and control manufacturing processes. The NIST Engineering Laboratory (EL), in conjunct...
The Information Security and Privacy Advisory Board (ISPAB) will meet March 29-31, 2017. All sessions will be open to the public.
Conference: NDSS Symposium 2017 Abstract: Online security experiences, perceptions, and behaviors are key to understanding users security practices. Users express that they are concerned about online security, but they also express frustration in navigating the often confusing and mentally taxing cybersecurity world. Thi...

It provides detailed information about the security features of OS X 10.10 and security configuration guidelines. The publication recommends and explains tested, secure sett...
Journal: IT Professional Abstract: With the C programming language comes buffer overflows. Because it is unlikely that the use of C will stop any time soon, the authors present some ways to deal with buffer overflows—both how to detect and prevent them.
Abstract: The call for a dramatic reduction in software vulnerability is heard from multiple sources, recently from the February 2016 Federal Cybersecurity Research and Development Strategic Plan. This plan starts by describing well known risks: current systems perform increasingly vital tasks and are widely...
Abstract: Mobile platforms offer a significant operational advantage to public safety stakeholders by giving them access to mission critical information and services while deployed in the field, during training and exercises, or participating in day-to-day business and preparations during non-emergency period...
NIST invites comments on Draft NIST SP 800-187, Guide to LTE Security. Cellular technology plays an increasingly large role in society as it has become the primary portal to the Internet for a large segment of the population. One of the main drivers making this change possible is the deployment ...
Abstract: Monitoring the “physics” of control systems to detect attacks is a growing area of research. In its basic form a security monitor creates time-series models of sensor readings for an industrial control system and identifies anomalies in these measurements in order to identify potentially false contr...
NIST released NISTIR 7621 Revision 1, Small Business Information Security: The Fundamentals. NIST developed this interagency report as a reference guideline about cybersecurity for small businesses...
Abstract: With the continuing frequency, intensity, and adverse consequences of cyber-attacks, disruptions, hazards, and other threats to federal, state, and local governments, the military, businesses, and the critical infrastructure, the need for trustworthy secure systems has never been more important to t...
Abstract: NIST developed this interagency report as a reference guideline about cybersecurity for small businesses. This document is intended to present the fundamentals of a small business information security program in non-technical language.
