NIST Updates SP 800-53 Privacy, Security Guidelines Applicable to Industry IoT

The National Institute of Standards and Technology drafted updates to security and privacy guidelines for government systems, which also can be applied to private-sector IoT devices, said a Tuesday news release. For the first time, privacy is "fully integrated" into revisions to special publication 800-53, security and privacy controls for information systems and organizations, it said. For instance, NIST said the publication suggests how to minimize data collection of traffic-monitoring cameras. Comments on draft revisions are due Sept. 12.
