The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued the NIST SP 800-213 IoT Device: “Cybersecurity Guidance for the Federal Government: Establishing IoT Device Cybersecurity Requirements.”

The Special Publication (SP) 800-213 contains “background and recommendations to help organizations consider how an IoT device they plan to acquire can integrate into a system. IoT devices and their support for security controls are presented in the context of organizational and system risk management.”

“This publication provides guidance on considering system security from the device perspective. This allows for the identification of device cybersecurity requirements—the abilities and actions an organization will expect from an IoT device and its manufacturer and/or third parties, respectively,” NIST added.
