This workshop focuses on questions around updating Foundational Cybersecurity Activities for IoT Device Technology Manufacturers (NIST IR 8259). The planned updates incorporate a greater emphasis on

  • Taking  a product viewpoint rather than a device-centric approach
  • Incorporating risk analysis in determining needed cybersecurity capabilities in the product 
  • Greater emphasis on maintenance and end-of-support / end of life considerations 
  • Applicability of IoT guidance to industrial contexts
  • Cybersecurity considerations around data management needed to support privacy goals
