December 7, 2023 Considerations for Consumer Router Cybersecurity: Discussion Forum  

The purpose of this event was to hold discussions to frame and collect input from participants around the preliminary draft of the Recommended Cybersecurity Requirements for Consumer Grade Router Products and around the challenges of establishing IoT product component requirements.  

June 22, 2022 | Building on the NIST Foundations: Next Steps in IoT Cybersecurity

The purpose of this workshop is to obtain feedback on specific considerations--and techniques for addressing those considerations--around cybersecurity in IoT products. These considerations have broad applicability across IoT product sectors, including the consumer products sector. 

December 9, 2021 | Workshop on Cybersecurity Labeling for Consumer IoT and Software: Executive Order Update and Discussion

NIST hosted a 1-day virtual public workshop to report on our progress toward consumer IoT product and consumer software cybersecurity labeling. We discussed developments since the August consumer IoT Device Criteria white paper and the September workshop. A recording of the event can be found here.

September 14, 2021 | Workshop on Cybersecurity Labeling Programs for Consumers: Internet of Things (IoT) Devices and Software

NIST hosted a 2-day virtual public workshop on challenges and practical approaches to initiating cybersecurity labeling efforts for Internet of Things (IoT) devices and consumer software.  The workshop will help NIST to carry out an Executive Order (EO) on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity. The workshop agenda and recordings can be found here.

June 2021 (4 Sessions) | 8259B Roundtable Series

NIST hosted a series of four roundtables in June on the non-technical capabilities needed across multiple sectors to make IoT devices securable. You can read about what we heard in this Cybersecurity Insights article.

April 22, 2021 | Workshop Addressing Public Comment on NIST Cybersecurity for IoT Guidance

NIST hosted a workshop discussing themes in the comments provided to the Cybersecurity for IoT public draft documents, SP 800-213 and NISTIR 8259D. The purpose of the workshop was to get additional input from stakeholders through facilitated discussions around key questions.

October 22, 2020 | Workshop on Cybersecurity Risks in Consumer Home IoT Products

NIST hosted a virtual workshop on Cybersecurity Risks in Consumer Home IoT Products on October 22, 2020. The purpose of this workshop was to obtain feedback on topics related to future directions for NIST and NCCoE’s work in this important space.

July 22 and 23, 2020 | Building the Federal Profile for IoT Device Cybersecurity: Next Steps for Securing Federal Systems

NIST leveraged the Core Baseline established in NISTIR 8259A and analyzed the controls found in NIST SP 800-53 to develop a catalog of key IoT device cybersecurity capabilities and supporting non-technical manufacturer capabilities and associated IoT device customer controls. This catalog is a critical building block for establishing a federal profile of the Core Baseline (“Federal Profile”) to help government entities securely incorporate IoT devices into their systems and meet security requirements for federal information and systems.

The future Federal Profile aims to help manufacturers looking at federal customers and use cases go beyond identifying the types of cybersecurity capabilities listed in NISTIR 8259A to considering additionally needed technical and non-technical cybersecurity capabilities. Manufacturers can engineer the technical capabilities and provide non-technical capabilities to IoT device customers to help ensure that customers’ systems meet an established level of management, operational, and technical security control requirements.

The virtual workshop will consist of two sessions, one per day and each lasting two hours. It will include panel discussions on key topics related to cybersecurity challenges for Federal IoT devices. These topics include the need for support for IoT device cybersecurity capabilities; additional supporting capabilities from the manufacturers and mechanisms giving agencies confidence that IoT Devices will meet Federal cybersecurity needs.
