The Cybersecurity for IoT Program’s mission is to cultivate trust in the IoT and foster an environment that enables innovation on a global scale through standards, guidance, and related tools.
Registration is now open for our June 22, 2022 virtual workshop: “Building on the NIST Foundations: Next Steps in IoT Cybersecurity”. We will have industry experts discussing consumer IoT cybersecurity requirements, the challenges of risk assessment for emergent use cases, and the role of standards for manufacturers and users of IoT devices and products.

NIST conducted a review of the pilot programs for cybersecurity labeling of consumer IoT products and consumer software products, consulting with the private sector and relevant agencies to assess the effectiveness of the programs, determining what improvements can be made going forward, and submitted a summary report on May 10, 2022, to the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs (APNSA).
NIST’s Cybersecurity for the Internet of Things (IoT) program supports the development and application of standards, guidelines, and related tools to improve the cybersecurity of connected devices, products and the environments in which they are deployed. By collaborating with stakeholders across government, industry, international bodies, academia, and consumers, the program aims to cultivate trust and foster an environment that enables innovation on a global scale.
The IoT Cybersecurity Program charter was established at the end of 2016 with three overarching program goals.
Supports the development and application of standards, guidelines, and related tools to improve the cybersecurity of connected devices and the environments in which they are deployed.
Collaborate with stakeholders across government, industry, international bodies, and academia.
Cultivate trust and foster an environment that enable innovation on a global scale.
