National Institute of Standards and Technology Creates Cybersecurity Standards | e-Discovery Team ® In 2014, some twenty years into the Age of the Internet, and over fifty years after the computer revolution, the U.S. Government finally began to establish minimum standards for computer security. It is about time. Every computer system in the world, including your personal computers at home, are now under near constant cyber attack. The government acted through the Commerce Department’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). (You did not expect Congress to have done anything, did you?) It acted by getting together industry and academic experts on cybersecurity and preparing a writing that begins to articulate basic standards. This blog will summarize the writing they created: *Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity <http://www.nist.gov/cyberframework/upload/cybersecurity-framework-021214.pdf>*. Although I have stylistic objections, and generally dislike all decisions by committee, especially ones involving the government, this is an important effort worthy of attention by all serious students of cybersecurity. http://bit.ly/1mtnTtl Source: http://e-discoveryteam.com/2014/05/04/national-institute-of-standards-and-technology-creates-cybersecurity-standards/ See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/1mtnTtl+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA IGP [log in to unmask] Dallas, Texas Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/archives/ http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/records-management/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/peterakurilecz Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
