The National Institute of Standards and Technology plans to re-issue what some consider the agency’s most important cybersecurity publication this calendar year. Today, the agency kicked off the revision process for NIST Special Publication 800-53 – the principal catalog of IT security and privacy controls used by federal agencies – with a pre-draft call for comments.
This feedback will inform the fifth revision of SP 800-53, which provides the underlying security requirements for a number of federal cybersecurity programs. Respondents have until April 1 to provide input on updates to the current version of the document, SP 800-53 rev. 4 (pdf), which NIST issued in April 2013.
