The government workplace is already using tablets and/or smartphones to access secure data, but the existing technology available to reach this data securely can be unwieldy and somewhat outdated. In this webinar, scheduled for December 12 at 11:00 am, Intercede and the NCCoE will share how your organization can leverage derived PIV credentials to access important information securely and without it being a hassle.

Join NCCoE staff at the Gartner Identity and Access Management Summit 2018 in Las Vegas, NV where Security Engineer Chris Brown will participate in a panel discussion "Viva Identity: Put IAM Fear and Loathing to Rest” led by Entrust Datacard on Tuesday, December 4 at 3:30 p.m.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology has tapped ForeScout Technologies to take part in a research project that seeks to protect internet of things-“based devices and critical infrastructure from cyber threats.

ForeScout said Wednesday it will work with NIST’s National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence on the IoT security project to implement best practices and cyber strategies to help the health care, energy and hospitality sectors from distributed denial-of-service attacks and other threats.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology has released for comment a draft of guidelines for “trusted” cloud suppliers and users. NIST is seeking comments to address “gaps” in the proposed guidelines issued Monday. The document, Special Publication (SP) 1800-19 Volume B, was developed by the NIST National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence, or NCCoE. An “executive summary” of the guidelines was issued in August.

Derived personal identity verification (PIV) credentials could get wider use if the latest National Institute of Standards and Technology guidelines get traction.   NIST is currently considering comments on a second draft of Special Publication 1800-12 practice guide that includes two sample implementations showing how federal employees using mobile devices could be authenticated to access secure information systems and applications. 

Hyland Healthcare is working with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence Securing Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) Cybersecurity for the Healthcare Sector Use Case Consortium to develop practical, interoperable cybersecurity approaches that address the real-world needs of complex Information Technology (IT) systems.

The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence, in cooperation with the National Institute of Science and Technology's Engineering Laboratory, has introduced a system that shows how a manufacturing firm can update the security of its industrial control systems via behavioral anomaly detection (BAD).

In this presentation, Harry Perper, Chief Engineer at The MITRE Corporation and Senior Cybersecurity Engineer at National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence at NIST, will provide insight into practical guidance for cybersecurity strategy. He’ll be discussing the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), providing an overview of the NIST NCCoE, as well as a review of one of the many cybersecurity solutions published by the NCCoE: Data Integrity - Recovering from Ransomware. Be prepared to leave an expert in protecting your business, and your clients’ businesses, from malware and other vulnerabilities.

The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE), a partnership of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the state of Maryland, is seeking public comment by Dec. 6 on a draft report (NISTIR 8219) detailing cybersecurity guidance aimed at the manufacturing sector that employs industrial control systems to monitor and control physical processes.
