told participants Wednesday at the University of California-San Diego. The draft outlines portions of the preliminary framework, set to be released in October for public comment (CD July 8 p9). A final version of the framework will be released in February in accordance with deadlines set in President Barack Obama’s cybersecurity executive order (CD Feb 14 p1). NIST hopes participants at the San Diego workshop will help the agency refine the outline and fill in “gaps” where NIST has not been able to collect what they feel are sufficient standards and best practices, including addressing privacy and civil liberties issues, said Donna Dodson, NIST division chief-Computer Security Division. NIST didn’t receive many responses to its initial request for information that included best practices on privacy; while the agency has since received further information, it wants to ensure it receives “enough to fill that gap,” Dodson said. NIST wants to ensure the framework that emerges from the development process is one that is “truly industry-led” and can result in strong voluntary implementation programs, said Adam Sedgewick, NIST senior information technology policy adviser. The output from the San Diego workshop will form the basis of discussion at NIST’s final framework development workshop, which is to occur in September.
