NIST initiatives tackle email security.
Two nascent initiatives from the National Institute of Standards and Technology are aimed at strengthening the fragile state of email security. A NIST draft document offers guidance on meeting federal requirements for email security.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently published draft guidance on how organizations can improve their approach to data security.
The guide discusses how using an attribute based access control (ABAC) system could be more flexible and efficient, and also why this approach may be preferred over using a role-based access control (RBAC) system. The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) is currently accepting comments on the draft, a NIST release stated.
GlobalSign, a leading provider of identity services for commerce, communications, content, and communities, today announced a collaboration with the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) to develop a draft guide that will help energy companies implement Identity and Access Management practices to achieve secure access and authentication controls and reduce cybersecurity risk.
As part of its efforts to provide practical solutions to real-world cybersecurity challenges, the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is requesting comments on a draft guidance to help organizations better control access to information systems.
It’s no surprise that the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCOE) has extended the public comment period for one of its newest guides, “Securing Electronic Health Records on Mobile Devices.” The five-part publication is one of the most detailed and potentially powerful resources that the NCCOE has released in recent memory, and it serves as one of the most comprehensive manuals to address the protection of patient information records, with a particular focus on securing mobile technology.
The NCCoE's Software Asset Management Building Block white paper has been revised with comments from the public. Version 2 of the white paper has been posted for an additional 30-day comment period, which runs through October 16, 2015.
Building blocks are cybersecurity solutions that are applicable across multiple industry sectors.
Cybersecurity is such an immense challenge, no single federal entity can make considerable progress on its own.
But one of the most responsive and cutting-edge programs is the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence because it can drill into new focus areas as the threat landscape changes, he said.
Established in 2012, the NCCoE brings together government, industry and academia to develop and implement cybersecurity standards, best practices and tools, said Stein. Twenty-two industry partners have pledged a continuous presence at NCCoE.
