Last year, NIST standardized a set of encryption algorithms that can keep data secure from a cyberattack by a future quantum computer. Now, NIST has selected a backup …

For many CISOs, compliance can feel like a necessary evil and a false sense of security. While frameworks like ISO 27001, SOC 2, and PCI DSS offer structured guidelines, they …

NIST’s latest report, “Hardware Security Failure Scenarios: Potential Hardware Weaknesses” (NIST IR 8517), explores the hidden vulnerabilities in computer …

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is clearing the backlog of unprocessed CVE-numbered vulnerabilities in the National Vulnerability Database (NVD), but …

NIST has finalized its principal set of encryption algorithms designed to withstand cyberattacks from a quantum computer. The announced algorithms are specified in the first …

Safety and quality are not features that can be added through testing — they must be integral to the design. Opting for a safer or more secure language or language subset …

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has awarded a contract for an unnamed company/organization to help them process incoming Common Vulnerabilities and …

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is launching a new testing, evaluation, validation and verification (TEVV) program intended to help improve …

CISOs have long been spreadsheet aficionados, soaking up metrics and using them as KPIs for security progress. These metrics have traditionally measured specific systems or …

The US Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has awarded cooperative agreements totaling nearly $3.6 million aimed at building the …

The recent conspicuous faltering of the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) is “based on a variety of factors, including an increase in software and, therefore, …

Whether the cause is insurmountable technical debt, lack of funds, a third reason or all of them, NIST’s National Vulnerability Database (NVD) is struggling, and …
