On August 15, the National Institute of Standards and Technology
("NIST") issued a new draft fifth revision of its Special
Publication (SP) 800-53, Security and Privacy Controls for
Information Systems and Organizations. According to a senior NIST
policy adviser, the revised draft "covers the
overlap in security and privacy for systems, as well as the ways in
which they are distinct [and] also enhances the ability for both
professional teams to collaborate yet still maintain their
respective authorities." The draft was "[d]eveloped by a
joint task force of representatives from the civil, defense and
intelligence communities" and "represents an ongoing
effort to produce a unified information security framework for the
federal government."
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
