Developing Deep Technical Cybersecurity Standards

At ISAUnited.org, we recognize a critical gap in today's cybersecurity landscape. While frameworks like NIST and ISO provide foundational guidance, they lack the detailed technical standards engineers need to secure complex systems effectively. Our latest feasibility study explores the necessity and viability of creating deep, actionable cybersecurity engineering standards beyond compliance, addressing persistent issues like data breaches, misconfigurations, and advanced threats. This research aims to define a new era of technical precision, empowering cybersecurity engineers with the tools to implement robust security solutions and protect organizations from modern cyber risks.
