Cybersecurity -Late Breaking Developments at NIST

Threats are constantly evolving in the area of Cyber Security. For utilities these threats include potential attacks of traditional IT systems, OT (operational technology) and increasingly IoT (Internet of Things) as these technologies proliferate. NIST has a number of initiatives that can be used to help an organization address these threats. These initiatives are both Utility specific as well as cross-industry. These include the Cyber Security Framework (CSF), the Smart Grid Security Standards and the Smart Grid Interoperability Framework as well as the more recent IoT Cybersecurity and the Privacy Framework.
