 Group
 (CSWG)
 
 
•  To address the cross-cutting issue of cybersecurity, NIST established the Cyber Security Coordination Task Group (CSCTG) in March 2009. •  Moved under the NIST Smart Grid Interoperability Panel (SGIP) as a standing working group and was renamed the Cyber Security Working Group (SGIP–CSWG). •  The CSWG now has more than 800 participants from the private sector (including vendors and service providers), academia, regulatory organizations, national research laboratories, and federal agencies. •  Smart Grid Interoperability Panel CSWG Wiki http://go.usa.gov/ggmY •  http://www.nist.gov/smartgrid

NCCoE
  Mission
 

Foster
 the
 rapid
 adopFon
 and
 broad
 deployment
 of
 
  integrated
 cybersecurity
 tools
 and
 techniques
 that
  enhance

Key
 NCCoE
 Goals:
  •  Disseminate
 new
 principles
 and
 mechanics
 underlying
 security
 standards,
  metrics,
 and
 best
 pracFces
 for
 secure
 and
 privacy-­‐preserving
 informaFon
  technologies
  •  Develop
 and
 test
 methods
 for
 composing,
 monitoring,
 and
 measuring
 the
  security
 posture
 of
 computer
 and
 enterprise
 systems
  •  Achieve
 broad
 adopFon
 of
 pracFcal,
 affordable,
 and
 useful
 cybersecurity
  capabiliFes
 across
