NIST has published draft NISTIR 8259 for public comment.

https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/nistir/8259/draft

Here is the original announcement:

Manufacturers are creating an incredible variety and volume of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Manufacturers need to understand the cybersecurity risks their customers face so IoT devices can provide cybersecurity features that make them at least minimally securable by the individuals and organizations who acquire and use them. This approach can help lessen the cybersecurity-related effort needed by customers, which in turn should reduce the prevalence and severity of IoT device compromises and the attacks performed using compromised IoT devices.

This draft publication defines a core baseline of cybersecurity features that manufacturers may voluntarily adopt for IoT devices they produce. It also provides information on how manufacturers can identify and implement features beyond the core baseline most appropriate for their customers. Draft NISTIR 8259 builds upon NISTIR 8228, Considerations for Managing Internet of Things (IoT) Cybersecurity and Privacy Risks<https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/nistir/8228/final>.

A public comment period for this draft document is open until September 30, 2019.

If you have comments on this draft, please send them to [email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>.

Thank you,
Dave
