The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) invites organizations to provide products and technical expertise to support and demonstrate security platforms for the Energy Sector Asset Management Project. This notice is the initial step for the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) in collaborating with technology companies to address cybersecurity challenges identified under the Energy Sector Asset Management use case. Participation in the use case is open to all interested organizations.
Link to Federal Register Announcement
Background: The NCCoE, part of NIST, is a public-private collaboration for accelerating the widespread adoption of integrated cybersecurity tools and technologies. The NCCoE brings together experts from industry, government, and academia under one roof to develop practical, interoperable cybersecurity approaches that address the real-world needs of complex Information Technology (IT). By accelerating dissemination and use of these integrated tools and technologies for protecting IT assets, the NCCoE will enhance trust in U.S. IT communications, data, and storage systems; reduce risk for companies and individuals using IT systems; and encourage development of innovative, job-creating cybersecurity products and services.
Letters of interest are due April 25th. Letters of interest must be submitted to energy_nccoe@nist.gov or via hardcopy to National Institute of Standards and Technology, NCCoE; 9700 Great Seneca Highway, Rockville, MD 20850.

Because of the dependence of the education industry upon energy and information infrastructure wee encourage our colleagues in the academic and business sides of the education industry to participate. We encourage participation of the many education industry trade associations who depend upon the daily content available at Standards Michigan for their own advocacy agendas and claims to leadership.
This project, as with all federal level projects, will be on the standing agenda of our weekly Open Door teleconferences every Wednesday, 11 AM Eastern time. (Click here to log in)
