NIST finalizes lightweight cryptography standard for small devices
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has finalized a lightweight cryptography standard to protect even the smallest networked devices from cyberattacks. Published as Ascon-Based Lightweight Cryptography Standards for Constrained De…
NIST proposes new metric to gauge exploited vulnerabilities
NIST has introduced a new way to estimate which software vulnerabilities have likely been exploited, and it’s calling on the cybersecurity community to help improve and validate the method. The new metric, “Likely Exploited Vulnerabilities” (LEV)…
Vulnerability Exploitation Probability Metric Proposed by NIST, CISA Researchers
The Likely Exploited Vulnerabilities (LEV) equations can help augment KEV- and EPSS-based remediation prioritization.
The post Vulnerability Exploitation Probability Metric Proposed by NIST, CISA Researchers appeared first on SecurityWeek.
MITRE Warns CVE Program Faces Disruption Amid US Funding Uncertainty

NIST selects HQC as backup algorithm for post-quantum encryption
Last year, NIST standardized a set of encryption algorithms that can keep data secure from a cyberattack by a future quantum computer. Now, NIST has selected a backup algorithm that can provide a second line of defense for the task of general encryptio…
The compliance illusion: Why your company might be at risk despite passing audits
For many CISOs, compliance can feel like a necessary evil and a false sense of security. While frameworks like ISO 27001, SOC 2, and PCI DSS offer structured guidelines, they don’t automatically equate to strong cybersecurity. The challenge? Many organ…
