What is NIST SP 800-160?
NIST SP 800-160 is a standard that provides guidance on integrating security into systems engineering processes. It emphasizes building secure systems from the ground up rather than adding security later.
The framework aligns with systems engineering standards such as ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 and supports secure architecture design.
What is NIST SP 800-160 used for?
NIST SP 800-160 is used to guide secure system design, ensuring that security is embedded throughout the lifecycle. It helps organizations build resilient systems that can withstand cyber threats.
Security architects use it to align with frameworks such as SABSA and TOGAF, improving Security Posture and reducing risk.
