The Cybersecurity for IoT Program applies five principles to our efforts.

 
      Cybersecurity for IOT PrinciplesSome examples of our principles in practice:

No One-Size-Fits-All

	NISTIR 8259 Series recommends 6 activities for manufacturers across IoT product life cycle
		Profiles of baseline recommendations created for different verticals/use case/types of devices
		Consumer IoT white paper identifies a candidate adaptation of NISTIR 8259A/B for Consumer Products in EO Response
	Ecosystem of Things
	Applying IoT Program Technical & Non-Technical Capabilities to NCCoE Projects
		Securing Telehealth Remote Patient Monitoring Ecosystem
		Protecting Information and System Integrity in Industrial Control System Environments
		Securing the Industrial IoT
		Mitigating Cybersecurity Risk in Telehealth Smart Home Integration
		Consumer Home IoT Product Security
	Outcome-Based Approach
	NISTIRs 8259 A and B provide outcome-focused recommendations for suppliers/ manufacturers of IoT products, support use case flexibility
		National On-Line Informative References (OLIR) program mappings demonstrate the outcome-focused approach, allowing for diversity of IoT cybersecurity solutions
	Risk-Based Understanding
	NISTIR 8228 helps organizations apply the Risk Management Framework and Cybersecurity Framework
		SP 800-213 Guides Organizations in Managing IoT Risk
	Stakeholder Engagement
	Over 150K Downloads of our 19 documents in 3 languages
		Over 1,700 Comments received
		Hosted 15+ Events with 3,000+ participants
