The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released a more complete discussion draft of the preliminary cybersecurity framework that the government group has been developing. The draft comes on the heels of three intensive workshops held across the country, mostly multi-day meetings that were attended by cybersecurity, government, and public policy professionals. One final NIST workshop will be hosted in Dallas starting on September 11 and will end less than a month before the October 10 deadline for publishing the draft framework in the Federal Register. The final framework must be completed by February 2014.”]
