[Cisspstudy] NIST Final Version Release - Cybersecurity Recommendations for Government

[Prakash]

NIST has released its final version of a publication that represents a major step toward building a unified information security framework for the entire federal government.
 
NIST Special Publication 800-53, Recommended Security Controls for Federal Information Systems and Organizations, was released in draft form for public review in June.
 
“This final publication represents a solidification of the partnership between the Department of Defense, the Intelligence Community, and NIST and their efforts to bring common security solutions to the federal government and its support contractors,” says Ron Ross, of NIST’s computer security division. “The aim is to provide greater protection for federal information systems against cyber attacks.”
