Description: NIST is responsible for carrying out the variety of assignments under the May 12, 2021, Executive Order 14028, Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity. Among other things, Section 4 of that Executive Order (EO) directs the Secretary of Commerce, through NIST, to consult with federal agencies, the private sector, academia, and other stakeholders in identifying standards, tools, best practices, and other guidelines to enhance software supply chain security. Those standards and guidelines will be used by other agencies to govern the Federal Government’s procurement of software. The EO also directs NIST to initiate two labeling efforts related to the Internet of Things (IoT) and software to inform consumers about the security of their products.
Based on significant input from private and public sector organizations, NIST has delivered a variety of resources for use in improving supply chain cybersecurity and is on track to meet upcoming deadlines. During this presentation, NIST will offer status reports, describe upcoming deliverables, and answer participants’ questions.
Presented by Mr. Kevin Stine NIST's Chief Cybersecurity Advisor and Associate Director for Cybersecurity in NIST's Information Technology Laboratory. He also serves as Chief of the Applied Cybersecurity Division. In these roles, he leads NIST collaborations with industry, academia, and government to build trust in information, systems, and technologies by advancing cybersecurity and privacy standards, guidelines, and measures. He oversees the development and practical application of cybersecurity and privacy guidelines, tools, and reference architectures in diverse areas such as public safety communications; health information technology; smart grid, cyber physical, and industrial control systems; and programs focused on outreach to small businesses and federal agencies.
