ITI: NIST CSF 2.0 Will Elevate U.S. Cybersecurity Leadership, Enhance Public-Private Partnership
WASHINGTON – Today, global tech trade association ITI applauded the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) release of the Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 (CSF 2.0).
ITI has been a strong proponent of the Framework since its inception, advocating for a Framework that is voluntary; adaptable to rapidly emerging threats, technologies, and business models; based on effective risk management; technology-neutral; and leverages public-private partnerships. ITI was also supportive of more robustly incorporating Cybersecurity Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM) in Version 2.0 of the Framework.
“The Cybersecurity Framework has been a highly successful tool that has positively impacted the cybersecurity of thousands of organizations of all sizes in the U.S. and internationally. We believe the new version of the Framework, with its expanded scope, will provide significant continuing value to users within critical infrastructure and beyond,” said ITI Senior Vice President of Policy and General Counsel John Miller. “We appreciate that NIST addresses the complex topic of supply chain cybersecurity in a way that recognizes its importance to cybersecurity risk management, and the accompanying C-SCRM Quick Start Guide is an especially helpful resource for organizations wishing to use the Framework to address supply chain challenges the release of its C-SCRM Quick Start Guide. We commend NIST’s robust stakeholder engagement process to update this important tool and look forward to continuing our decade-long collaboration on future iterations of the Framework, cybersecurity standards, and other U.S. cybersecurity policy.”
