NIST Security Events

[Thursday August 07, 2008] --
NIST Workshop on Applying NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-53, Revision 2 to Industrial Control Systems (ICS).
August 7, 2008: 1-5 PM and 7:30-9:30 PM
Chicago Marriott Southwest at Burr Ridge, Chicago, IL.

The National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) will host a workshop for representatives from ICS communities (e.g., electric, oil, gas, water, manufacturing) to discuss the Bellingham, Washington gasoline pipeline rupture (1999) and Maroochy Shire Water Services sewage spill (Australia, 2000) ICS cyber security incidents and to analyze and discuss how SP 800-53, Revision 2 would have reduced ICS cyber security vulnerabilities in these incidents. During the evening session, the participants are welcome to discuss NIST’s risk management framework, including NIST SP 800-53, Revision 2, and to share their experiences in protecting control systems.
