America's Partnership for Homeland, Cyber, and National Security

Thursday, April 16, 2020 from 10 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.

NIST established the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence, a public-private collaboration for accelerating the widespread adoption of integrated cybersecurity tools and technologies in 2012. The State of Maryland and Montgomery County, MD, co-sponsor the center with NIST, which works to strengthen U.S. economic growth by supporting automated and trustworthy e-government and e-commerce.  Researchers from NIST work collaboratively with both the users and vendors of cybersecurity products and services. The center hosts multi-institutional, collaborative efforts that build on expertise from industry and government.  The center undertakes carefully developed use cases—comprehensive requirements and test plans to address specific cybersecurity challenges—that lead to practical, interoperable cybersecurity approaches for real world needs of complex IT systems. Examples of use cases include interoperable cybersecurity templates to address challenges in health IT, cloud and mobile computing, cryptography, or continuous monitoring of IT systems. The development and refinement of use cases are open to all interested parties, including IT vendors and the public. Results from center projects are shared with the broad IT user and vendor communities.
