It’s vital for C-suites to include cybersecurity as part of their capital planning. And the key to that is determining what “just enough security” is for the organization to meet its business goals. What’s the best way to determine how much security is “just enough”?

NIST to conduct investigation into the collapse of the Champlain Towers South Condominium

The investigation could take years, lead to recommendations for building code and safety improvements.

July 8, 2021

The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced it would launch a full technical investigation into what caused the partial collapse of the Champlain Towers South Condominium in Surfside, Florida, on June 24, 2021.

NIST publishes draft cybersecurity framework for ransomware risk management

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has published a new draft on ransomware guidance for organizations.

NIST proposes approach to reduce risk of bias in artificial intelligence

June 24, 2021

In an effort to counter the often pernicious effect of biases in artificial intelligence (AI) that can damage people’s lives and public trust in AI, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is advancing an approach for identifying and managing these biases — and is requesting the public’s help in improving it.

Zero trust visibility

Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) is a trendy term touted by cybersecurity vendors. But there isn’t a single ZTA solution. The architecture is composed of numerous components, that when taken together, form a new paradigm for dealing with cybersecurity that is appropriate in a modern world where corporate enterprises are no longer confined to a well-defined and trustworthy perimeter such as remote working and cloud environments. For reference, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has created a very detailed ZTA publication

5 minutes with Sergey Strakhov – Preparing for “Q-day”

Maria Henriquez

February 26, 2021

Quantum computing, the use of quantum phenomena such as superposition and entanglement to perform computation, is expected to impact many sectors, including healthcare, energy, finance, entertainment, and security. Before this large-scale impact is achieved, several challenges need to be overcome, and security leaders should start preparing for this change, says Sergey Strakhov, Chief Technology Officer at IronCap. Here, we talk to Strakhov about the impact quantum computing will have on security and the potential risks it poses.

NIST finalizes cybersecurity guidance for positioning, navigation and timing systems

February 16, 2021

As part of an effort to help users apply its well-known Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) as broadly and effectively as possible, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has released finalized cybersecurity guidance for positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) services.

Record number of critical and high severity vulnerabilities were logged to the NIST NVD in 2020

February 15, 2021

A record number of critical and high severity vulnerabilities were logged to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and its National Vulnerability Database (NVD) in 2020. THE NVD is a repository of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) reported by security professionals, researchers and vendors. It is used by security teams around the world to stay up to date with security vulnerabilities as they are discovered. In January 2021, Redscan performed an analysis of the NVD to examine security and vulnerability trends. Their report focuses on vulnerabilities discovered in 2020, but also highlights wider CVE trends that have emerged since 1989.
