The Next Generation Security and Privacy Controls—Protecting the Nation's Critical Assets It has been seven years since the last major update to NIST's flagship security and privacy guidance document Special Publication (SP) 800-53, Security and Privacy Controls for Information Systems and Organizations. Since 2013, the publication has been accessed or downloaded from the NIST web site millions of times. This month, NIST unveiled an historic update to its security and privacy controls catalog that will provide a solid foundation for protecting organizations and systems—including the personal privacy of individuals—well into the 21st century. NIST SP 800-53, Revision 5 is not just a minor update but rather a complete renovation—addressing both structural issues and technical content. The update represents a multi-year effort to develop the first comprehensive catalog of security and privacy controls that can be used to manage risk for organizations of any sector and size, and all types of systems—from super computers to industrial control systems to Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The controls offer a proactive and systematic approach to ensuring that critical systems, components, and services are sufficiently trustworthy and have the necessary resilience to defend the economic and national security interests of the United States. |
