NIST Issues Revised Cybersecurity Framework

December 11, 2017

Sadly, when one goes to Hawaii, one must ultimately come home. And of course, catching up on the news is a priority, though I bemoan the loss of poolside afternoons and Waikiki Freezes. Back to the job at hand.

On December 5th, NIST published the second draft of the proposed update to the Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity. This second draft update aims to clarify, refine, and enhance the Cybersecurity Framework, amplifying its value and making it easier to use. This latest draft reflects comments received to date, including those from a public review process launched in January 2017 and a workshop in May 2017.

Public comments for the latest draft of Cybersecurity Framework version 1.1 and the draft Roadmap are due to NIST by Friday, January 19, 2018 via . NIST anticipates finalizing Cybersecurity Framework version 1.1 in Spring 2018.

There's a helpful Fact Sheet worth reviewing for the highlights of the new draft.
