NIST to Update Secure Software Guidance

Post-Quantum and TLS Transition Deadlines

Within one year the government will pilot machine-readable policy tools, and agency members of the FAR Council shall take steps so that, by January 4, 2027, vendors to the Federal Government of consumer Internet-of-Things products must carry United States Cyber Trust Mark labeling.

By November 1, 2025, several agencies must make existing datasets for cyber-defense research accessible to the broader academic research community to the maximum extent feasible. Also by November 1, 2025, defense, homeland security, and intelligence agencies must incorporate management of AI software vulnerabilities into their existing vulnerability management and incident processes, including sharing indicators of compromise for AI systems.
Narrowing Cyber Sanctions to Foreign Persons
