- Crypto-Agility and Quantum Readiness
- Human Capital and Collaboration

There has been extensive work this spring to bring updates to NIST guidance. These updates are outlined in detail at this website, which focuses on its new “Cyber AI Profile” based on the CSF.
The website describes this new update this way:
“Discussions with many in the…
