As the year comes to a close, NIST continues to engage with our international partners to strengthen cybersecurity, including sharing over ten new international translations in over six languages as resources for our stakeholders around the world. These efforts were complemented by discussions on opportunities for future enhanced international collaboration and resource sharing. Here are some updates from the past few months: Our international engagement continues through our support to the Department of State and the International Trade Administration (ITA) during numerous international

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Cyber AI Profile Workshop NIST hosted this past April! This work intends to support the cybersecurity and AI communities — and the input you provided during this workshop is critical. We are working to publish a Workshop Summary that captures themes and highlights from the event. In the interim, we would like to share a preview of what we heard. Background on the Cyber AI Profile Workshop ( watch the workshop introduction video) As NIST began exploring the idea of a Cyber AI Profile and writing the Cybersecurity and AI Workshop Concept Paper

Celebrate this milestone with us! Email us at csf [at] nist.gov (csf[at]nist[dot]gov) or tag @NISTcyber on X telling us what your favorite CSF 2.0 resource is (or how your organization has benefitted from implementing the CSF 2.0). Today marks two years since the publication of the Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0! Published in 2024, the CSF 2.0 included the addition of a Govern Function, increased emphasis on cybersecurity supply chain risk management, updated categories and subcategories to address current threat and technology shifts, and expansion into a suite of resources designed to make the CSF 2.0 easier to

Workshop Details… We’re looking forward to hearing from the community during our “Future Directions” Workshop! Date: March 31 – April 1, 2026 Where: NIST’s Gaithersburg campus! Registration and Details: HERE Can’t make it? We still want to hear from you – email us at IoTSecurity [at] nist.gov (IoTSecurity[at]nist[dot]gov). All Aboard for Product Cybersecurity The NIST Cybersecurity for Internet of Things (IoT) Program was established to help real-world practitioners navigate the gray areas between IT and connected products. This provides clarity when it comes to challenges, available existing resources, and understanding where

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Cybersecurity Framework Profile for Artificial Intelligence (Cyber AI Profile) Workshop in January! The input we received on the Preliminary Draft during this workshop has been invaluable and is informing the development of the next draft of the NIST Cyber AI Profile. We are working toward publishing a full workshop summary soon that captures themes and highlights from the event. In the interim, we would like to share a preview of what we heard… Background on the Second Cyber AI Profile Workshop This workshop was a continuation of the past months

In our last post in this series, we compared two credential formats that shape the digital identity ecosystem: ISO/IEC 18013-5 and -7 mobile documents (mdocs) and W3C Verifiable Credentials (VCs). Both formats define how a credential is structured and shared, but neither can function without an issuance process. This blog post explores what it takes to issue verifiable digital credentials, with a focus on mobile driver’s licenses (mDLs). We’ll look at how issuance works today in practice, where inconsistencies exist, and how standards bodies (FIDO, ISO and OpenID Foundation) are working to

Happy National Small Business Week! For over 60 years, the U.S. Small Business Administration has led this initiative to acknowledge the critical contributions of America’s entrepreneurs and small business owners. Part of the U.S. Department of Commerce, NIST’s mission is to drive U.S. innovation and global competitiveness, and the small business community is central to this mission. In this year’s blog, we shine a spotlight on some new and upcoming NIST resources that are all focused on strengthening the cybersecurity and resilience of the nation’s small business community. Build Your Small

It may be summertime, but the NIST Cybersecurity for the Internet of Things (IoT) Program isn’t hitting the hammock! Organizations are managing growing device complexity, evolving threats, and pressure to turn guidance into operational decisions…so we remain focused on helping stakeholders apply security guidance in ways that are practical and actionable. What’s Been Happening Lately? An initial public draft (IPD) of NIST SP 800-213 Revision 1, IoT Product Cybersecurity Guidelines for the Federal Government: Establishing IoT Product Cybersecurity Requirements is out now for your review and

For over two decades, the NIST National Vulnerability Database (NVD) has served as the U.S. government repository for standards-based vulnerability management data and as a foundational resource for cybersecurity risk analysis, vulnerability management, compliance automation, and software security. New Opportunities for the NVD via Automation Our cybersecurity landscape is changing dramatically and is being reconfigured by artificial intelligence (AI) in unique, exciting, and yes, sometimes challenging ways. This is creating openings to potentially leverage AI systems to discover and exploit
