NTIA Seeking Input to Improve Software Component Transparency, Digital Security

To improve transparency of software components and digital security, NTIA Administrator David Redl Wednesday launched a multistakeholder process. The agency seeks input from software vendors, IoT manufacturers, medical device manufacturers, civil society and various sectors. The first meeting is 10 a.m. July 19 at the American Institute of Architects, 1735 New York Ave. NW. “This initiative will highlight the role of enterprise customer to understand how data can be used to better secure organizations,” Redl wrote. “Stakeholders can address the challenges and obstacles in sharing this data.” In Thursday's Federal Register, NTIA says the multistakeholder process is the result of recommendations included in a report to the president on botnets (see 1805300065).
