NIST Releases New Guidance on Software Security and Cybersecurity Consumer Labeling Programs
NIST recently released several key deliverables relating to cybersecurity. These focus on secure software development and new consumer labeling programs as contemplated by President Biden’s Executive Order 14028, which seeks to implement multiple new practices to improve the Nation’s cybersecurity. These deliverables include SP 800-218 Secure Software Development Framework, and recommendations for cybersecurity labeling programs for consumer software and consumer internet of things devices. The latter outline general desired outcomes for a labeling scheme, including: baseline product criteria, labeling considerations, and conformity criteria and assessment.
