The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and National Security Agency (NSA) released an Enduring Security Framework (ESF) Report on Recommendations for Increasing U.S. Participation & Leadership in Standards Development, providing recommendations for the U.S. to participate in and position itself as the leader in the creation of global standards. The report recognizes both economic reasons and national security concerns requiring increased U.S. participation in standards development organizations (SDOs). U.S. participation in standards is critical to protecting the security of the American people, expanding economic opportunity, and defending democratic values. The report was developed by the ESF Industry Standards Group Working Panel, an NSA and CISA-led public-private cross-sector working group, to provide recommendations for individuals, industry, academia, and the U.S. government to sustain and grow engagement in SDOs as well as developing a standards savvy workforce. The ESF urges early engagement in critical emerging technologies standards-related activities, the development of a more standards-savvy U.S. workforce, engagement with academia to grow the next generation of standards experts and establishing the United Sates as a venue of choice for hosting standards meetings.
