Even if an organization has already brought its password policy in line with NIST's recommendations, it is a good idea to periodically revisit those recommendations since they do change over time. Not surprisingly, NIST no longer recommends scheduled password changes.
The NSA already has classified quantum-resistant algorithms of its own that it developed over many years, said Joyce. The agency's mathematicians worked with NIST to support the process, trying to crack the algorithms in order to test their merit.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has updated its guidance document for helping organizations identify, assess and respond to cybersecurity risks throughout the supply chain. "The guidance helps organizations build cybersecurity supply chain risk considerations and requirements into their acquisition processes and highlights the importance of monitoring for risks. Because cybersecurity risks can arise at any point in the life cycle or any link in the supply chain, the guidance now considers potential vulnerabilities such as the sources of code within a product, for example, or retailers that carry it," NIST notes.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has released updated guidance on securing the supply chain against cyberattacks. Since 2020, NIST has released two draft documents on how the enterprise can better defend itself from supply-chain attacks.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology on Thursday released an updated cybersecurity guidance for managing risks in the supply chain, as it increasingly emerges as a lucrative attack vector. The new directive outlines major security controls and practices that entities should adopt to identify, assess, and respond to risks at different stages of the supply chain, including the possibility of malicious functionality, flaws in third-party software, insertion of counterfeit hardware, and poor manufacturing and development practices.
The framework enables organizations to improve the security and resilience of critical infrastructure with a well-planned and easy-to-use framework. Although the CSF was written and updated while SaaS was on the rise, it is still geared towards the classic legacy critical infrastructure security challenges.
Designing and implementing a password policy that responds directly to NIST guidelines is a crucial step in locking down your company's security. Enzoic for Active Directory achieves password security in line with NIST by enabling real-time password policy enforcement and daily password auditing with automated remediation.

Cybersecurity is a lucrative field, and you don't have to spend years learning all the various aspects of it. If you are an advanced IT professional, you can actually break into it with very specialized training, such as the NIST Cybersecurity & Risk Management Frameworks course.
Ivanti announced that it has been selected by the National Institute of Standards and Technology's National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence to participate as a collaborator in the Implementing A Zero Trust Architecture project. The goal of the project is to build zero trust security architectures to help organizations mitigate cybersecurity risk.
