The National Institute of Standards and Technology is reworking the way it presents guidelines on securing defense-related controlled unclassified information in order to avoid strapping contractors with redundant requirements, according to a senior NIST official.
The counterintelligence landscape has evolved from a focus on various nation-state actors to specific issues such as cybersecurity and supply-chain threats, intelligence official Bill Evanina said Monday, while advocating for government and industry groups to pursue "enterprise-wide" solutions to combat those supply-chain threats.
The highly anticipated release of the National Institute of Standards and Technology's revised guidelines for "controlled unclassified information," which serve as the basis for defense contractor cybersecurity requirements, is awaiting completion of an interagency review being led by the White House Office of Management and Budget, a NIST official told Inside Cybersecurity on Monday.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology is racing to publish a second revision of a draft guidance document on protecting "controlled unclassified information" prior to Feb. 15 in case another partial government shutdown occurs.
