NIST’s National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence is seeking public feedback on a project to improve internet of things sensors used to keep track of the physical environment in a building, including security and safety. “Detecting and preventing an attack are challenging because IoT sensor networks typically have limited processing power and a constrained ability for security monitoring and maintenance,” the center explained. The project will also delve into the security requirements of the devices themselves. Comments are open through March 18.

The strong focus on cybersecurity will continue in the new year. In September of 2018, NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) along with NCCoE (National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence) published a standard for IT Asset Managers. Initially, compliance with the new NIST Cybersecurity Framework Version 1.1 will only be for governmental agencies. However, just as other governmental best practices have trickled down into commercial enterprise, this too will find its way to a wider audience.

Telehealth is a rapidly growing sector within healthcare, as practitioners adopt new technologies such as remote patient monitoring (RPM) and video conferencing to treat patients from the comfort of their homes. While the use of RPM for things like blood pressure and glucose monitoring can help reduce the strain on healthcare facilities, telehealth apps and hardware devices also open up a fresh wave of concerns surrounding the security of patients’ data. In an effort to address these concerns, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is in the process of creating practical guidelines for telehealth vendors and healthcare delivery organizations that are exploring these new technologies.
