The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been an active driver of Internet of Things (IoT) cybersecurity efforts for several years, convening stakeholders from the federal government and the private sector to develop IoT risk management guidance. To date, NIST’s Cybersecurity for IoT Program has collaborated across the wide IoT ecosystem to develop seminal voluntary guidance, including an IoT Device Cybersecurity Capability Core Baseline, which defines a set of device cybersecurity capabilities for organizations to consider when managing IoT risk.
NIST’s important work in the IoT security space will continue in 2021. Recent developments – including the passage of the Internet of Things (IoT) Cybersecurity Improvement Act of 2020 (the IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act) and a newly released slate of draft guidance documents – promise a busy year ahead for NIST, as well as multiple opportunities

On December 15, 2020, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released four new draft Internet of Things (IoT) cybersecurity documents to provide guidance for federal agencies and device manufacturers. Additionally, NIST is updating its catalog of IoT cybersecurity capabilities.
The concurrent release of this slate of IoT cybersecurity guidance comes on the heels of the IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act of 2020, signed into law on December 4. NIST explains that the new documents “will help address challenges raised in [the Act] and begin to provide the guidance that law mandates.” As NIST acknowledges, “[b]ecause companies that do business with government agencies will need to interact with technology the government finds acceptable, the guidance is likely to have far-reaching influence.”
