Cybersecurity professionals need to align their efforts with those of the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST’s) National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE). Download the NCCoE project portfolio, and plan to attend the February 19 webinar. Details below.
From a January 21 bulletin from NIST:
“The NIST National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) is excited to announce the release of our inaugural Project Portfolio, providing an overview of the NCCoE’s research priorities and active projects.”
The Project Portfolio document (PDF) begins by explaining the purpose of the NCCoE:
“The NCCoE serves as a U.S. cybersecurity innovation hub for the
technologies, standards, and architectures for today’s
cybersecurity landscape.
“Through our collaborative testbeds and hands-on work with
industry, we build and demonstrate practical architectures to
address real-world implementation challenges, strengthen
emerging standards, and support more secure, interoperable
commercial products.
“Our trusted, evidence-based guidelines show how organizations
can reduce cybersecurity risks and confidently deploy innovative
technologies aligned with secure standards.”
Sections of the document are devoted to:
- Formal and informal collaborations with other entities.
- The NCCoE’s four pillars: Data Protection, Trusted Enterprise, Artificial Intelligence, and Resilient Embedded Systems.
- The “forming,” “active,” and “concluding” projects within the pillars, with links to each project.
For example, one of the listed AI projects is the Cyber AI Profile:
“Recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology bring great opportunities to organizations, but also new risks and impacts that need to be managed in the domain of cybersecurity. NIST is evaluating how to use existing frameworks, such as the Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), to assist organizations as they face new or expanded risks.”
This group has published its roadmap, including workshops, working sessions, and document drafts.
If you are interested in cybersecurity, definitely review the project portfolio and plan to attend the online webinar on February 19.
