NIST Standards
NIST SP 800-121
Bluetooth can be intercepted much like other wireless traffic. Bluejacking is the term for the MitM-like attacks on a Bluetooth connection. Bluebugging is an attack that grants hackers remote control over the feature and functions of a Bluetooth device. For a deeper understanding of Bluetooth, particularly its security, consult the standard NIST SP-800-121, currently at rev 2.
NIST SP 800-34
As an example, NIST 800-34 identifies plans in the areas shown in Table 1.1. BCP COOP Crisis comms plan CIP Cyberincident response plan DRP ISCP OEP
NIST SP 800-199
(NIST Special Publication 199) A simple method for categorization can start with a high, medium, and low set of categories. For U.S. government entities, the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 199 outlines guidelines for applying the qualitative categories. Each of the levels has a precise definition against which the information is evaluated to determine the appropriate categorization level. In Table 2.1, categorization is summarized and depicted as security objective against potential impact.
NIST SP 800-92
Data retention requirements also apply to security and IT operations audit logs. NIST SP 800-92, "Guide to Computer Security Log Management," offers guidance on log archival, log retention, and log preservation. Data retention requirements are based on factors such as operational need, legal requirements, and, in some cases, a specific incident or event that requires an exception to log management policy.
CSD , CSRC, FISMA
Developed by the NIST Computer Security Division (CSD) Computer Security Resource Center (CSRC) and made up of standards and guidelines from FISMA, the framework consists of controls found in various NIST SPs. These publications include FIPS 199, FIPS 200, and NIST SPs 800-53, 800-59, and 800-60, 800-160, 800-137, 800-18. Additional security guidance documents that support the project include NIST SPs 800-37, 800-39, 800-171, 800-171A, 800-53A, and NIST Interagency Report 8011. Without question, the framework is a large compilation and combination of current industry standards and best practices provided by government and private-sector security experts
NIST SP 800-37
Documented in NIST Special Publication 800-37, "Guide for Applying the Risk Management Framework to Federal Information Systems," it prescribes a six-step process through which the federal government manages the risks of operating information systems.
FIPS 199
FIPS 199, "Standards for Security Categorization of Federal Information and Information Systems," requires agencies to categorize all of their information systems based on the potential impact to the agency of the loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability. Implied in this process is that the agencies must have a comprehensive inventory of systems to apply the categorization standard.
FIPS 200 and NIST SP 800-53
FIPS 200 identifies 17 security-related areas of control, but the details of which specific control is to be applied are found in NIST Special Publication 800-53, "Recommended Security Controls for Federal Information Systems."
NIST FIPS 200
FIPS Publication 200: Minimum Security Requirements for Federal Information and Information Systems (http://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/FIPS/NIST.FIPS.200.pdf): An integral part of the NIST RMF, this standard emphasizes more security during the development, implementation, and operation of more secure information systems. FIPS 200 defines the 17 families of security controls covered under confidentiality, integrity, and availability of U.S. federal information systems and the information processed, stored, and transmitted by those systems.
NIST SP 800-34 and ISO 22301 and COBIT DS4
Fortunately, standards exist for DR/BCPs as well, including ISO 22301, "Societal security - Business continuity management systems - Requirements" and NIST SP-800-34, "Contingency Planning Guide for Federal Information Systems." COBIT DS4, "Ensure Continuous Service," also addresses disaster recovery and business continuity planning.
NIST SP 800-63A
Identity Assurance Levels In this matter of registration and identity proofing, the U.S. government (not surprisingly) has a great deal of experience, and much at stake. NIST is responsible for advising federal agencies how to do this correctly. NIST Special Publication 800-63A, "Digital Identity Guidelines: Enrollment and Identity Proofing Requirements"
NIST SP 800-38A
In selecting an encryption methodology, the security professional has to take into account the increased computational overhead of the encryption process and the management of the cryptographic process. It is important to use only widely accepted encryption algorithms and widely accepted implementations, like those found in NIST SP 800-38A, "Recommendation for Block Cipher Modes of Operation: Methods and Techniques"
NIST FIPS 199
In the United States, the NIST FIPS 199 can be used for asset classification within the overall risk management process. The best organizational security policy will be developed using the relevant guidance as a foundational source.
NIST SP 800-133
Keys should be generated in a manner appropriate for the cryptographic algorithm being used. The proper method to generate a symmetric key is different from a public/private key pair. NIST SP800-133 (Recommendation for Cryptographic Key Generation) provides specific guidance.
CIP version 5 standards
CIP Version 5 Standards CIP 5 standards exist that cover a range of areas: CIP-002: Identifies and categorizes BES Cyber Assets and their BES Cyber Systems. This is where an impact rating is specified. CIP-003: Specifies consistent and sustainable security management controls that establish responsibility and accountability. CIP-004: Requires an appropriate level of personnel risk assessment, training, and security awareness. CIP-005: Specifies a controlled Electronic Security Perimeter with border protections. CIP-006: Specifies a physical security plan with a defined Physical Security Perimeter. CIP-007: Specifies select technical, operational, and procedural requirements for the BES Cyber Assets and BES Cyber Systems. CIP-008: Specifies incident response requirements. CIP-009: Specifies recovery plan requirements. CIP-010: Specifies configuration change management and vulnerability assessment requirements. CIP-011: Specifies information protection requirements.
NIST SP 800-53r4 and ISO 17799
Compliance with record retention requirements is supplemented via active archiving systems. Internationally accepted standards such as ISO 17799 and NIST SP 800-53 r4 provide guidance on information handling and retention requirements over the full lifecycle of information, in some cases extending beyond the disposal of information systems.
NIST SP 800-171
Many of the risk management and compliance frameworks require organizations to address controls over third-party personnel. In the United States, NIST Special Publication 800-171, "Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information in Nonfederal Systems and Organizations," identifies personnel security controls that vendors must address when managing certain types of sensitive information under federal contracts. Third-party compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Privacy Act also places expectations on contracting organizations to ensure that their partners use appropriate assurance practices with their personnel
NIST SP 800-70
Many organizations use guides or checklists to accomplish and maintain a secure baseline configuration for their assets. A leading source that is publicly available is the National Checklist Program (NCP), defined by NIST SP 800-70. This is the U.S. government repository for up-to-date and detailed guidance for security configurations.
NIST IR 7622
NIST The U.S. government began directly addressing cyber supply chain risk as a separate issue with the publication of NIST IR 7622, "Notional Supply Chain Risk Management Practices for Federal Information Systems." This work recognizes that the actions required of the entities in the supply chain will change depending on their role, as will the level and type of control to be applied. The document identifies 10 practices that should be taken into account in addressing supply chain risk.
NIST SP 800-150
NIST 800-150: NIST Special Publication 800-150, "Guide to Cyber Threat Information Sharing," is one of the most comprehensive sources describing how organizations can share cyberthreat information to improve their own and other organizations' security postures.
NIST SP 800-154
NIST 800-154 Data-Centric Threat Modeling In 2016, NIST placed for public comment a threat modeling approach centered on protecting high-value data. This approach is known as NIST 800-154, "Data-Centric Threat Modeling." It explicitly rejects that best-practice approaches are sufficient to protect sensitive information, as best practice is too general and would overlook controls specifically tailored to meet the protection of the sensitive asset. In this model, the analysis of the risk proceeds through four major steps.
NIST SP 800-53
NIST 800-53, media should be sanitized "prior to disposal, release out of organizational control, or release for reuse." Disposal of media doesn't acknowledge a need to reuse the media, but sanitization does.

NIST SP 800-124
For organizations keen on managing mobile devices in a consistent manner, centralized management of mobile devices is key. Additionally, NIST Special Publication 800-124 (currently at rev 1) covers not only management but also aspects of improving secure access and authentication of mobile devices at a higher level. For example, a mobile security professional may reconsider granting access to the internal network by mobile devices solely by credentials. Instead, smartphones, particularly personally owned devices, can be jailbroken or "rooted." Therefore, an organization should consider checking the connecting device's integrity before proceeding to grant full access to the network. To that effect, NIST 800-124 goes into depth on centralized management of mobile device security. NIST SP 800-124r1 covers small form-factor mobile devices, which excludes laptops.
NIST SP 800-53 and ISO 27002
ISO 27002 and NIST SP 800-53 provide foundational control standards for the industry worldwide. An illustration of the families of controls that constitute these standards is found in Figure 2.6. This side-by-side comparison demonstrates where the security standards share commonality and differ from each other.

NIST SP 800-92 and ISO 27001/27002
Policies and procedures for log management should be documented and aligned to standards. ISO 27001 and ISO 27002 both provide basic guidance on logging, and NIST provides SP 800-92, "Guide to Computer Security Log Management." Since logging is driven by business needs, infrastructure and system design, and the organization's functional and security requirements, specific organizational practices and standards need to be created and their implementation regularly assessed.
NIST SP 800-53
SCAP is an automated vulnerability management protocol that provides a structured way to measure compliance with policy for systems. Organizations can use SCAP to automate a process to make sure systems are within configuration standards according to NIST SP 800-53. The SCAP content is informed by the National Vulnerability Database (NVD), authored by the U.S. government. SCAP is designed to perform initial measurement and continuous monitoring of security settings against the established set of security controls.
NIST SP 800-33
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-33, "Underlying Technical Models for Information Technology Security," included the CIA Triad as three of its five security objectives, but added the concepts of accountability (that actions of an entity may be traced uniquely to that entity) and assurance (the basis for confidence that the security measures, both technical and operational, work as intended to protect the system and the information it processes). The NIST work remains influential as an effort to codify best-practice approaches to systems security.
NIST SP 800-122
Using NIST SP 800-122, some common examples of PII include the following: Name, such as full name, maiden name, mother's maiden name, or alias Personal identification number, such as Social Security number (SSN), passport number, driver's license number, taxpayer identification number, patient identification number, or financial account or credit card number Address information, such as street address or email address Asset information, such as Internet Protocol (IP) or Media Access Control (MAC) address or other host-specific persistent static identifier that consistently links to a particular person or small, well-defined group of people Telephone numbers, including mobile, business, and personal numbers Personal characteristics, including photographic image (especially of face or other distinguishing characteristic), X-rays, fingerprints, or other biometric image or template data (e.g., retina scan, voice signature, facial geometry) Information identifying personally owned property, such as vehicle registration number or title number and related information Information about an individual that is linked or linkable to one of the previous (e.g., date of birth, place of birth, race, religion, weight, activities, geographical indicators, employment information, medical information, education information, financial information)
NIST SP 800-53 rev 4
Using NIST SP 800-53 (Rev 4), security professionals should ensure that the required software and associated documentation are in accordance with contract agreements and copyright laws. The controls call for tracking software use to prevent unauthorized copying and distribution.
