At TrustCloud, we’re on a mission to democratize compliance, so we’re kicking off GRC Newsflash – a series where our experts give you a quick rundown on the latest buzz happening in the GRC, security, and privacy world. Today’s edition features our Compliance Specialist Frank Kyazze, and covers updates of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0, announced on August 8, 2023.
NIST established the crucial set of guidelines known as FIPS 140-2 to safeguard sensitive data, particularly for governmental organizations. It is to provide security and privacy when encrypting and decrypting data. The primary distinction between FIPS 140-2 validation and compliance is that. In contrast, validation involves determining if a system or product has been developed to comply with the standard’s requirements; compliance is putting those requirements into practice.
In today's increasingly mobile-driven world, securing our digital assets and protecting sensitive information is of paramount importance. To address this need, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently released the latest version of their publication, NIST 800-124 Rev. 2: Guidelines for Managing the Security of Mobile Devices in the Enterprise.
