National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence

News, from the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCOE) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), detailing updates in a wide range of sectors.

Of interest is the Center's Building Block Updates. Comprised of DNS-Based Secured Email and Derived PIV Credentials, the NCCOE is certainly moving forward (as opposed to executing a flawed mandate laterally, as many Agencies appear to be orchestrating as of this writing...) as we had hoped for at the inception of the Center of Excellence. Outstanding!

National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence Issues Call for Comments

Earlier this month (in April 2015 if you are reading this post in the far distant future...) the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released NIST Draft NISTIR 8050; in which, an interesting summary appears of a technical workshop held at Stanford University in conjuction with the Presidents' Cybersecurity Summit.

Pursuant to completeing the draft cycle of the document, the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence NNCoE (a Center of Excellence and a component of NIST) has issued a Call for Comments, focusing on the content of that document. In this instance, related to your agency, company, buereau, department, country or other organizations' information and/or cybersecurity issues. I've included a link to NISTIR 8050 to assist in fulfilling the Call for Comments. Enjoy.
