On June 20, the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE), in partnership with the FedID Planning Committee, will host a meet-up on "Educating the Public (and Policymakers) on Identity." Speakers will discuss the importance of ensuring that the public (and policymakers) have a proper understanding of identity topics, share stories (and their impacts) from past issues, and offer what they feel are the biggest concerns for the future. Attendance at the meet-up is open to anyone in the community wishing to learn and/or discuss ideas on demystifying technologies and programs. There will not be a charge to attend, but space is limited so register soon.

Cybersecurity technology advances and NIST best practices along with automation and system controls go a long way to minimize errors, but it doesn't completely eliminate the potential for error by human actors. So how can you reduce the opportunity for and damage of a threat to your organization? Join Harry Perper, Chief Engineer, NIST's National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence, and Neha Gupta, CEO of True Office Learning as they discuss this challenge.

On June 5 at 2:05 pm, NCCoE Chief Security Engineer Harry Perper will participate in the Identity panel at the 2018 DOE Cyber Conference. This session will focus on DOE Identity, Credential, and Access Management Program (ICAM) implementation with major focus on the OneID DOE enterprise identity service developed and supported by LLNL. This event will be a part of the Advancing Cybersecurity Excellence: Moving from Compliance to Risk Management track.

NCCoE Deputy Director Tim Mcbride will present "Recover Quickly & Safely from Ransomware" at the Enfuse 2018 Conference at 8am on May 22. This session will discuss how industry experts and technology collaborators worked with the NCCoE to develop practical cybersecurity guidance on recovering from destructive malware and ransomware. This session will highlight the recently released NIST Special Publication 1800-11, Data Integrity: Recovering from Ransomware and Other Destructive Events.
