Teachers drive the success of cybersecurity, inspiring the next generation to secure their future. With this in mind, the NCCoE recently invited a group of middle school teachers to tour the labs, learn about our Student Programs, and participate in a cybersecurity themed escape room with the NICE program to demonstrate basic cybersecurity principles. We hope they will return to their schools with a desire to help their students pursue their passion for cybersecurity in the future.

5G technology for broadband cellular networks will significantly improve how humans and machines communicate, operate, and interact in the physical and virtual world. 5G provides increased bandwidth and capacity, and low latency. However, professionals in fields like technology, cybersecurity, and privacy are faced with safeguarding this technology while its development, deployment, and usage are still evolving. To support this effort, the NCCoE has launched the “Applying 5G Cybersecurity and Privacy Capabilities” white paper series. Click on the link below to review the first two white papers included in the series: (1) Applying 5G Cybersecurity and Privacy Capabilities—Introduction to the White Paper Series and (2) Protecting Subscriber Identifiers with Subscription Concealed Identifier (SUCI). We encourage you to review these two draft publications and submit comments by September 16, 2024: https://lnkd.in/e79Rhxk2 (Image: Shutterstock)

The NCCoE recently hosted several middle school teachers for our Annual Middle School Teacher Event. After an overview of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) /NCCoE Student Programs from Tim McBride, the teachers participated in an escape room activity with the NICE program where they had to become expert cryptographers, detectors of suspicious emails, and lock pickers using only soda cans to demonstrate basic cybersecurity principles. To close out the day, they toured the NCCoE’s Healthcare, 5G and Manufacturing labs, learning from and conversing with our subject matter experts, gleaning knowledge they can take back to the classroom and pass on to the next generation of cybersecurity experts.

The NCCoE’s Zero Trust team just released NIST SP 1800-35: Implementing a Zero Trust Architecture. As an enterprise’s data and resources have become distributed across the on-premises environment and multiple clouds, protecting them has become increasingly challenging. Many users need access from anywhere, at any time, from any device. The NCCoE is addressing these challenges by collaborating with industry participants to demonstrate several sample implementations of #zerotrust architecture applied to a conventional, general-purpose enterprise IT infrastructure on-premises and in the cloud.
