The NCCoE accelerates businesses' adoption of standards-based, advanced security technologies. We:
consult with IT security professionals and other leaders to identify their most pressing cybersecurity issues
generate detailed technical descriptions of the problems and map the desired solution to NIST and industry standards and best practices
seek comments from the public to make the problem descriptions as broadly applicable as possible
invite technology vendors to collaborate with us: their standards-based products are modules in the end-to-end example solutions we build in our labs
Each project results in a freely available NIST Cybersecurity Practice Guide (Special Publication series 1800), which includes information and instructions organizations can use to implement an example solution for themselves. Organizations that want to adopt similar solutions can use products from our collaborating vendors, or products with similar characteristics that fit their budgets and IT infrastructure.
