Free cheat sheets for NIST Digital Identity Guidelines

View profile for Karen Scarfone

Cyber writer and co-founder of Trusted Cyber Annex

We've published cheat sheets for the first three volumes of NIST's new Digital Identity Guidelines! If you're planning on reading SP 800-63-4, 63A-4, or 63B-4, visit the Trusted Cyber Annex site (link in the comments) and download our cheat sheets for free. They not only highlight the recommendations and other information that we think are the most important, but they also include the NIST definition of each term next to where that term is first used. These additions make the Digital Identity Guidelines easier and faster to absorb. Please spread the word about this work! We are 100% reader-supported, so we rely on you to help us reach the cybersecurity community. Thank you!

This is the #1 thing people with existing FedRAMP ATOs are failing. Identity proofing requirements for staff are now more stringent.

Karen Scarfone Great job. I am a true believer in the use of color highlighting, so why not digitize it! We allow the past to hold us back. Underlining and highlighting text has similarities to how I use Excel to extract keywords and phrases. The problem is, only a handful of people appreciate its effectiveness. Why? The process helps me the sender more than the receiver---at least in today's fast-paced world---and people tend to be shortsighted in order to get the job done. My technique, just like yours, allows me to spend more quality time in practice, but our brains only remember 10% of what we read, which may be sufficient to build upon existing experience. An AI/ML expert might build a specialized version of GPT, GPTs, that adds weighted scores to text strings versus color highlights. People who rely too much on AI, show a significant drop in brain activity because the brain lacks sufficient experiences to build comprehension. AI can augment our intelligence if we put in the practice. The color highlighting and color legend help with the practice phase.
