The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) has published the final version of NIST Interagency Report (NIST IR) 8406, Cybersecurity Framework Profile for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG).
Overview
This publication was developed for the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) industry and the subsidiary functions that support the overarching liquefaction process, transport, and distribution of LNG. The LNG Cybersecurity Framework Profile can be used by entities who are part of the LNG industry to address and mitigate cybersecurity risks associated with LNG processes and systems.
This Profile:
Can help organizations identify opportunities for managing cybersecurity risks in the LNG lifecycle;
Provides a baseline of the Mission objectives for LNG operations that were identified and prioritized by LNG industry stakeholders;
Builds on the identified Mission objectives to develop a prioritized list of Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) Categories; and
Includes a table of prioritized CSF Subcategories based on identified CSF Categories. These prioritizations of Mission objectives, CSF Categories, and CSF Subcategories may serve as a useful starting point to identify cybersecurity activities and outcomes that may be important to members of the LNG industry. Additionally, prioritizations can be tailored to account for specific mission objectives or operational considerations.
The LNG Cybersecurity Framework Profile is not intended to replace any existing cybersecurity guidance or policy, but rather to complement existing best practices by helping stakeholders prioritize the recommendations provided by LNG organizations.
This publication was prepared for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response (CESER) as part of an inter-agency agreement with the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to research and develop tools and practices that will strengthen the cybersecu ..
