About NIST Information Technology Laboratory

NIST Information Technology Laboratory's NIST responsibilities include cybersecurity standards and guidance used by federal agencies and industry, supported by research in computer science, mathematics and statistics. Public resources associated with this work include the Computer Security Resource Center and the Cybersecurity Framework. ITL is a federal research laboratory within NIST, not a software reseller or a certification of every product that references its guidance. Its research and standards portfolio is distinct from the commercial systems that implement those standards.
