NIST 800-100: Information Security Handbook

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) published an Information Security Handbook for Managers this week – special publication NIST 800-100:

There are numerous publications from the NIST and they’re useful from two fronts. One, they provide a framework response used by the federal government which can be adopted and modified to fit a business need. And two, they’re a great academic source – I use these publications for curriculum design and course delivery.

Frankly, the 800-100 is a dry read; the student may find this publication interesting or an IT professional looking to implement a set of security policies and administrative controls within their company. However, it is a recent addition to an arsenal of very useful information from the NIST.
