United States of America: National Institute of Standards and Technology closes consultation on Cybersecurity Framework Manufacturing Profile

On 17 November 2025, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) closes the public consultation on the Cybersecurity Framework Manufacturing Profile. The profile applies to manufacturers operating industrial control systems, operational technologies, and related manufacturing systems. It provides voluntary, risk-based guidance for managing cybersecurity activities and reducing cyber risk. Key updates include new guidance on supply chain risk management, platform security, and technology infrastructure resilience. The profile enhances but does not replace existing cybersecurity standards.
