Systems Security Engineering (SSE) Project SSE

Systems security engineering contributes to a broad-based and holistic security perspective and focus within the systems engineering effort. This ensures that stakeholder protection needs and security concerns associated with the system are properly identified and addressed in all systems engineering tasks throughout the system life cycle. Mission Statement... To provide a basis to formalize a discipline for systems security engineering in terms of its principles, concepts, and activities....

Telework: Working Anytime, Anywhere

Today, many employees telework (also known as “telecommuting,” “work from home,” or “work from anywhere”). Teleworking is the ability of an organization’s employees, contractors, business partners, vendors, and other users to perform work from locations other than the organization’s facilities. Telework has been on the rise for some time, but sharply increased because of the COVID-19 pandemic. For many, telework is now the only way to get work done, and the original concept of “telework” has...

Testing Laboratories

To become a laboratory for the CST program there are a number of requirements. A lab must become accredited under the CST LAP which is part of NIST’s NVLAP. A lab must sign and enter into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with NIST. Click here for an example agreement. A lab must follow the “Principles of Proper Conduct” listed below. A lab must be US based if participating in the NPIVP scope. The following list are the Scopes maintained at NIST: Cryptographic...

United States Government Configuration Baseline USGCB

The purpose of the United States Government Configuration Baseline (USGCB) initiative is to create security configuration baselines for Information Technology products widely deployed across the federal agencies. The USGCB baseline evolved from the Federal Desktop Core Configuration mandate. The USGCB is a Federal Government-wide initiative that provides guidance to agencies on what should be done to improve and maintain an effective configuration settings focusing primarily on security.

Vulnerability Disclosure Guidelines

ATTENTION: The Project Lead is no longer at NIST. Inquiry responses may be delayed. Internal and external reporting of security vulnerabilities in software and information systems owned or utilized by the Federal Government is critical to mitigating risk, establishing a robust security posture, and maintaining transparency and trust with the public. Formalizing actions to accept, assess, and manage vulnerability disclosure reports can help reduce known security vulnerabilities and...

Zero Trust Architecture | NCCoE

[Redirect to https://www.nccoe.nist.gov/projects/implementing-zero-trust-architecture] Conventional network security has focused on perimeter defenses, but many organizations no longer have a clearly-defined perimeter. To protect a modern digital enterprise, organizations need a comprehensive strategy for secure “anytime, anywhere” access to their corporate resources (e.g., applications, legacy systems, data, and devices) regardless of where they are located.
