National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE)

The NCCoE’s Zero Trust team just released NIST SP 1800-35: Implementing a Zero Trust Architecture. As an enterprise’s data and resources have become distributed across the on-premises environment and multiple clouds, protecting them has become increasingly challenging. Many users need access from anywhere, at any time, from any device.        The NCCoE is addressing these challenges by collaborating with industry participants to demonstrate several sample implementations of #zerotrust architecture applied to a conventional, general-purpose enterprise IT infrastructure on-premises and in the cloud.        To submit a comment on the draft, visit our Zero Trust project page here:   https://lnkd.in/gwzUG-zG      Image: Shutterstock  

Last week, the NCCoE leadership team gathered for a productive workshop focused on rethinking our approach and embracing bold new ideas. We explored current trends, challenges, and opportunities to advance cybersecurity excellence.   We are excited to continue delivering impactful products and services while fostering a robust collaboration hub for government, academia, and industry.   #NCCoE #Cybersecurity #NIST #Impact #Innovation

Join NIST NCCoE's Nakia Grayson and Julie S. for NextLabs' August 7th webinar on NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 Community Profiles.

NCCoE Director Cherilyn Pascoe recently presented at #SEMICONWest on the importance of public-private partnerships to improve the #semiconductor industry’s cybersecurity resiliency. Under the National Cybersecurity Strategy, NIST is working with SEMI and other stakeholders to develop a profile tailoring the NIST Cybersecurity Framework to address the unique challenges facing semiconductor manufacturing. In the semiconductor industry, private-public partnerships are particularly relevant for advancing cybersecurity due to the sector’s critical role in global technology infrastructure.

Communities of Interest (COIs) are one of the greatest strengths of the NCCoE. Our COI members come from large and small businesses, government agencies, academia, and the general public.      We count on our COIs to help identify and define the problems to be addressed by the NCCoE. Want to sign up? We’d love for you to join!      Get started here: https://lnkd.in/gVDuxJYd     Image: Shutterstock

The NCCoE is thrilled to share that our director Cherilyn Pascoe has been nominated for a 2024 CyberScoop 50 Award in the Government Leadership category! 🏆 The award honors transformational cybersecurity leaders who implement innovative cybersecurity strategies, technologies, and programs that benefit all levels of government. This nomination underscores the NCCoE’s commitment to protecting critical networks and infrastructure from cyber threats. None of this would be possible without the incredible support of the entire NCCoE and our dedicated partners from across the cybersecurity community. Thank you for your commitment and hard work in making this achievement possible! Let's amplify our efforts in cybersecurity awareness and continue to make a difference in our digital world. #CyberScoop50 

The advent of low-cost genomic sequencing technologies has ushered in an era where it is now possible to #sequence and #analyze an entire #genome quickly and affordably. The vast amounts of genomic data collected have helped fuel our nation’s #economic and #health leadership posture; however, this information may not be protected with sufficient rigor.     Want to learn more about the #cybersecurity and #privacy of #genomic data?

The NCCoE is addressing the 5G security challenge by collaborating with industry to create practical solutions that can strengthen the security of a system’s architectural components, provide a secure cloud-based supporting infrastructure, and enable the security features provided by the current 5G standards.     Check out our project page to learn more: https://lnkd.in/em7Z5sWh     #cybersecurity #5g 

At Identiverse 2024, NCCoE security engineers Bill Fisher and Ryan Galluzzo participated on panels discussing the drivers for Mobile ID issuance and its adoption, and the standards for presenting digital identity credentials online.     The panels also explored the strategic perspectives of entities investing in digital identity solutions, key requirements for assessing adoption progress, and how early adopters can start accepting digital identity credentials.     To learn more about our team’s work in the digital identities-mobile driver’s license (mDL) space, check out our project page here: https://lnkd.in/emMQDJUm     #cybersecurity #digitalidentities #verifiablecredentials
