NTIA’s cybersecurity multistakeholder processes, conducted in an open and transparent manner, contribute to the security of the nation’s Internet architecture. The consensus-based development of market-based cybersecurity solutions and guidance creates a foundation for increasing digital security. Recent processes include:

  • Software component transparency — creating guidance for the use of a “Software Bill of Materials,” which functions as a list of ingredients that make up software components.
  • Internet of Things security  – addressing key aspects of IoT security, including upgradability and patchability of connected devices
  • Cybersecurity vulnerability disclosures – increasing collaboration between security researchers and software and system developers and owners
