Workshop

Cybersecurity Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM): Validating the Integrity of Server and Client Devices

NIST’s NCCoE is developing a demonstration project to identify the perceived issues and challenges in supply chain assurance. When a device’s supply chain is compromised, the security of that computer device can no longer be trusted, whether it is a laptop, desktop or server. A primary focus of the workshop and subsequent NCCoE demonstration project is to explore methods by which organizations can verify that their purchased computing devices’ internal components are genuine and have not been altered during the manufacturing and distribution process or after sale from a retailer. During the workshop, NIST will present its preliminary plans for this project and subject matter experts in the field will present on their views of the challenges in supply chain assurance and/or enabling technologies and best practices to address perceived challenges. The resulting project hopes to also verify that components have not been tampered with nor otherwise modified through the retirement of the computing device.

NIST explicitly solicits input from workshop participants on all aspects of the planned NCCoE demonstration project including the proposed scope, use cases and technologies to be considered, and sources of specifications and guidance. Once the project description is finalized, NIST will solicit organizations to directly collaborate in the technical project and the development of its outputs.

We would like to welcome you to subscribe to our community of interest mailing list where we will announce future updates and events on our project.
