Putting the "Systems" in Security Engineering: An Examination of NIST Special Publication 800-160

Abstract

Security professionals should be familiar with ongoing developments in the systems security engineering field, specifically the second public release of National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-160 Systems Security Engineering: Considerations for a Multidisciplinary Approach in the Engineering of Trustworthy Secure Systems. NIST SP 800-160 provides a systems-oriented approach to engineering secure systems in what is perhaps the most significant work in the specialty domain's history.
