Join NIST and expert panelists and leaders on February 15, 2023, for this second virtual workshop to discuss potential updates to the Cybersecurity Framework. This event will discuss potential significant changes to the Framework as outlined in the CSF Concept Paper, as well as build on feedback from the 2022 NIST Cybersecurity Request for Information (RFI) and the first workshop. This upcoming workshop will help to improve the CSF by engaging with a wide and diverse community of experts (the first CSF 2.0 workshop was attended by 4,000 participants from 100 countries).

This one-day informative event will include updates from NIST on CSF 2.0, as well as virtual panel discussions with experts in the community. Attendees are encouraged to participate in each panel topic via Slack —where they can offer comments on each topic and suggest questions to ask the panelists.

This virtual informational webinar will summarize the key requirements for participation and outline test procedures. You will also have an opportunity to ask questions of NTIA/ITS and CableLabs, the organizer and host lab for the challenge.
