Cybersecurity
NTIA’s cybersecurity multistakeholder processes, conducted in an open and transparent manner, contribute to the security of the nation’s Internet architecture. The consensus-based development of market-based cybersecurity solutions and guidance creates a foundation for increasing digital security. Recent processes include:
- Software component transparency -- creating guidance for the use of a “Software Bill of Materials,” which functions as a list of ingredients that make up software components
- Internet of Things security – addressing key aspects of IoT security, including upgradability and patchability of connected devices
- Cybersecurity vulnerability disclosures – increasing collaboration between security researchers and software and system developers and owners
