NIST Official Sees IoT Security Update Coming Soon – MeriTalk
The Commerce Department will soon be releasing a draft “road map” on Internet of Things (IoT) security issues, an official with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)–which is part of the Commerce Department–indicated Tuesday during a panel discussion at the 2018 Symantec Government Symposium.
Katerina Megas, program manager for IoT cybersecurity at NIST, said the draft road map on IoT security may be released in the “next couple weeks.” She did not fully detail the draft, but said it may suggest actions to be taken by Commerce, NIST, the Federal Trade Commission, and the private sector. The road map document will be put out for public comment, she said.
