NIST Publishes Updated Report on Government Cybersecurity
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has released a report updated from its 2005 version on recommended standards on security controls for federal organizations.
The report is meant to create a centralized set of requirements and controls that cover both the national security communities and civilian agencies.
The report sought security protocol information from Department of Defense, the Intelligence Community, and other civilian agencies to format the coherent standards. NIST has been reformulating the report for a number of months and submitted drafts of the report throughout the government as well as industry. A number of private organizations use the report, known as 800-53, to set IT security protocol for their organizations.
