Federal agencies get their first peek Monday at proposed guidelines that, by spring, will begin to standardize the testing of systems security. The National Institute of Standards and Technology developed the guidelines, to be posted Monday at csrc.nist.gov. Special Publication 800-37 lays out instructions for a security checkup. It is the first in a three-part series designed to bring consistency to certifying and accrediting systems security. NIST will accept public comments on 800-37 for three months. The second set of guidelines, 800-53, will describe the first-ever minimum-security requirements for federal online systems.
