Homeland Security Policy Breakfast

NIST Cybersecurity Framework:
Release and Next Steps

One year after the President signed EO 13636 (Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity), the National Institute of Standards and Technology has developed a preliminary Cybersecurity Framework and is preparing it for final release. The impending publication of the Framework promises to have wide-ranging effects for the public and private sectors alike. For example, industry may begin to voluntarily adopt the Framework in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security. There are many questions that remain, however, including how the Framework will affect government contracting, whether the Framework may be utilized by third parties such as insurers and courts, and potential regulatory impacts.
