The National Institute of Standards and Technology plans to soon update some of its publications, including its risk management framework, to reflect new IT modernization priorities. Ron Ross, the computer scientist leading NIST’s Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) implementation, said these three primary goals are to simplify, innovate and automate.
Ross said in a Feb. 28 i360Gov webcast on IT modernization and cyber that NIST has been working on revision five of the Security and Privacy Controls for Federal Information Systems and Organizations for some time. That new revision will involve integrating privacy and security controls into one unified catalog in order to simplify the process.
