NIST closer to critical infrastructure cybersecurity framework

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) held in San Diego last week the third of four workshops to develop a comprehensive cybersecurity framework for critical infrastructure as required under an executive order signed by President Obama on February 12, 2013. NIST’s goal with the workshop was to solicit feedback from nearly five hundred attendees to generate content for the preliminary draft framework, which is due in early October.
