Listen "31. A Brief History of NIST Guidance"
Episode Synopsis
ISO 27001, CMMC, NIST 800-53… Keeping track of the myriad security guidelines can be tricky. Especially when you don’t know the “why” behind them. To help clear things up, in this episode, I speak with the preeminent expert on NIST guidelines, Dr. Ron Ross, Fellow at National Institute of Standards and Technology, and learn not just what the guidelines are — but how and why they came to be that way. Ron and I discuss: - The “Why” behind NIST guidance - How certification standards like ISO 27001 relate to NIST 800-53 and map to each other - How NIST balances policy and technical-level considerations To hear this episode, and many more like it, you can subscribe to The Virtual CISO Podcast here.
