MITRE ATLAS (Adversarial Landscape for Artificial-Intelligence Systems):

✔️ includes adversary and for machine learning (ML) systems.

✔️ is based on real-world observations from red teams, cyber security working groups and academic research.

✔️ is modeled after the MITRE ATT&CK

Examples of specific attacks:

📌Model Evasion – attacker identifies query to perform to get a desired outcome after observing output of the ML system for certain types of input (inference stage)

📌Functional Extraction – obtaining model functionally through iterative querying (inference stage)

📌Model Poisoning – attacker can “reprogram” the ML system to perform a new undesired task or have a new undesired output (train phase)

📌Model Inversion – attacker recovers the features used to train the model (inference stage)

’s new IoT cybersecurity guidelines

After months of workshops and gathering input from all relevant stakeholders, the following have been published:

📌 SP 800-213 – requirements when starting to use an device from an IoT device and its manufacturer and/or third parties

📌 SP 800-213A - the updated catalogue of:

📝 device cybersecurity capabilities (i.e., features and functions needed from a device to support )

📝 non-technical supporting capabilities (i.e., actions and support needed from device manufacturers and other supporting entities to support security controls)

📌Don’t forget about the related publications: NISTIR 8259, NISTIR 8259A, NISTIR 8259B

NIST has been engaged for several years in developing guidance for Internet of Things (IoT) cybersecurity.

Aims to provide processes and controls needed to ensure the privacy and security of cloud-based telehealth patient information.
Includes , and guidelines for the below data use phases:
1. : Data is generated, acquired, or modified.
2. : Data is committed to a storage repository.
3. : Data is processed, viewed, or used in any other sort of activity.
4. : Data or information is made accessible to others.
5. : Data is placed in long-term storage, per data retention guidelines and legal obligations.
6. : Data is no longer required and made inaccessible.

This paper focuses on having the processes and controls in place necessary to ensure the privacy and security of telehealth patient information in the cloud with respect to the HIPAA privacy rule and the GDPR. Maintaining the sanctity and integrity of healthcare data is of paramount importance not
