Meeting the NIST AI RMF Measure Function With Monitoring Evidence

Measure carries four categories and twenty-two subcategories, and they divide cleanly by what kind of evidence satisfies them. Some ask whether something was observed. Others ask whether something was tested. Monitoring answers the first group and contributes almost nothing to the second.

NIST AI RMF: What It Is and How to Adopt It

One of the jobs of the National Institute of Standards and Technology is to keep on top of new technologies as they are developed and evolve. This is particularly important for risk management, considering both of the major governmental information security frameworks (FedRAMP and CMMC) are based on NIST publications. Well, as you might imagine, Artificial Intelligence technology is a huge new risk factor.

NIST SSDF: 4 core practices for secure software development

The NIST Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF) is a set of fundamental, outcome-based practices that integrate security throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC). Documented in NIST SP 800-218, it helps organizations reduce vulnerabilities, prevent recurrences, and establish a common language for secure development. The SSDF outlines dozens of tasks grouped into four high-level categories.

NIST AI Agent Authorization: Five Asks Mapped to Kubernetes

NIST has published no AI agent authorization standard, and nothing in its February 2026 draft gives an auditor a control to test. What the NCCoE did publish is more useful to a CISO with an audit on the calendar: five areas of interest that read like an assessor’s question list. Together they ask which agent acted, on whose behalf, under what authority, and with what record. A Kubernetes cluster has a primitive it can point to for each area.

What Does NIST IR 8587 Mean for API Security?

On September 15, 2026, NIST published Internal Report 8587, “Protecting Tokens and Assertions from Forgery, Theft, and Misuse.” It’s built to extend NIST Special Publication 800-53 Release 5.1.1, and on paper it reads like an SSO hardening document for government agencies and their cloud vendors.

Red Teaming Agentic AI: Why Testing the Model Is No Longer Enough

In January 2025, NIST's Center for AI Standards and Innovation published red team results that should have changed how enterprises test autonomous systems. Against an AI agent operating in simulated workspace, travel, Slack and banking environments, the strongest previously known hijacking attack succeeded 11% of the time. The strongest new attack developed by the red team succeeded 81% of the time. The model had not changed. The evaluation had.

What Is ML-KEM? Guide to NIST's Post-Quantum Key Encapsulation Mechanism

Quantum computers are likely to render the current public-key cryptography used for protecting modern internet traffic, digital signatures, and encryption useless. In response, NIST has developed ML-KEM as the main post-quantum key encapsulation method. The guide below will introduce the concept of ML-KEM, how it functions, in which projects it is used, and how organisations can implement it.

When Reading Apps Handle Sensitive Documents: A Practical Privacy Checklist

Read-aloud and AI explanation tools can make difficult material easier to use. Before opening a confidential PDF, however, users should understand where the text goes, what the app stores and which permissions it really needs.
