CyberSecurity Framework RFI

Hopefully, this is old news to everyone, but I'm still catching up after conferences and travel so i assume that others might be as well :)

In response to the presidential Executive Order on Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity, NIST has released an RFI in the Federal Register to gather initial information on the many interrelated considerations, challenges, and efforts needed to develop the Framework.  Folks, this an opportunity to get involved in the shaping of cybersecurity withing the US.  Too often we as professionals complain about legislators not understanding the problems we face and creating laws/regulations which are impractical as well as ineffective.  This is our opportunity to at least minimize and potential negative outcomes from the Executive Order...if not to create something useful and game changing :)

The RFI may be found here;  give it a read...and get involved!
