The National Institute of Standards and Technology wants to know how it might improve its landmark framework of cybersecurity standards and practices and streamline similar efforts related to particular issues like privacy and supply-chain security. “Every organization needs to manage cybersecurity risk as a part of doing business, whether it is in industry, government or academia,” said Commerce Deputy Secretary Don Graves in a news bulletin NIST published Tuesday. “It is critical to their resilience and to our nation’s economic security. There are many tools available to help, and the CSF is one of the leading frameworks for private sector cybersecurity maintenance. We want private and public sector organizations to help make it even more useful and widely used, including by small companies.”
