The Importance of NIST's Hurricane Maria Investigation
In 2017, Hurricane Maria devastated much of Puerto Rico, damaging buildings that people relied on for medical care, safety, communications and more. NIST’s investigation of the hurricane and its aftermath will help protect communities across Puerto Rico and the wider United States. See more on YouTube.
This is a crucial initiative. Software security truly spans its entire lifecycle, and guidelines like these from NIST and its partners can help drive stronger, standardized practices across the industry. Looking forward to seeing how these efforts shape future cybersecurity frameworks.
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) é intrigante a reflexão sobre a vida útil completa de um software, da ideia à sua aposentadoria, e as vulnerabilidades de segurança que existem em cada etapa. O trabalho do consórcio, com o NIST e parceiros do setor, em desenvolver diretrizes para a segurança de software é crucial para a proteção digital de todos. Fiquei com curiosidade de saber mais sobre como esse esforço pode impactar as vulnerabilidades invisíveis que o usuário comum não percebe. Parabéns pela iniciativa!
