The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is set to release an overhauled systems security engineering document it hopes will change the way software and computer designers think about cyber security.

NIST calls upon U.S. federal agencies, businesses and general population to re-think the approach to cyber security, which should not be just an add-on but a foundational component of any technology that touches the Internet. 

Despite a number of initiatives within the European Network and Information Security community to establish frameworks and standard operating procedures, the EU-level response to cyber incidents, and in particular these which lead to crisis situations, lacks consistency.

ENISA analysed the EU-level crisis management frameworks in five different sectors (aviation, civil protection, border control, counter-terrorism and health and disease control) to make recommendations on more efficient cyber crisis cooperation and management.

Started in June 2015, the WISER Innovation Action will deliver, in late 2017, a cyber-risk management framework that dynamically assesses the cyber risk to which the client ICT infrastructure is exposed. This is done by continuously monitoring the risk associated to the cyber-climate of its ICT operational environment.
