The National Institute of Standards and Technology is set to release an overhauled systems security engineering document it hopes will change the way software and computer designers think about cybersecurity.
An updated draft of NIST’s 800-160 document will be released for public comment on May 4. According to its lead author, Dr. Ron Ross, the new 800-160 will kick off a difficult discussion over not only how federal agencies approach cybersecurity, but also how U.S. business and general population should think about it — not just as an add-on, but as an foundational component of any technology that touches the Internet.
