Celebrating 50 Years of Cybersecurity at NIST!
 With each day bringing new cybersecurity challenges and advances, it is easy to understand why people feel like it’s hard to keep up. It is important to be agile and move quickly to avoid the consequences of cybersecurity attacks—and that need extends to government agencies, like NIST, as we work collaboratively with industry, academia, and government to help meet these challenges. Those of us at NIST realize that we have a responsibility to keep an eye on current needs AND on potential future needs including changes in technologies and threats that could affect the ability of organizations to manage cybersecurity risks.
For the last 50 years, NIST—formerly the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) until 1988—has been up to the job. Our efforts to cultivate trust in information, systems, and technologies have provided a foundation for cybersecurity advancements. They include specific information that can be put into practice immediately to longer-term research that anticipates advances in technologies and future challenges.
