The NIST Internal Report (IR) 8183 Revision 2, Cybersecurity Framework Version 2.0 Manufacturing Profile has been published and we’re excited for your feedback! The comment period is now open through November 17, 2025.
As cybersecurity threats to critical infrastructure continue to escalate in frequency and severity, it is crucial for manufacturing organizations to implement robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard sensitive data and prevent potential system disruptions and financial losses. This Profile is designed to help manufacturing organizations manage cybersecurity risks in alignment with industry best practices and sector goals.
The Profile gives manufacturers:
- A method to identify opportunities for improving the current cybersecurity posture of the manufacturing system.
- An evaluation of their ability to operate the manufacturing environment at their acceptable risk level.
- A standardized approach to preparing the cybersecurity plan for ongoing assurance of the manufacturing system’s security.
The Profile is structured around the functional areas of the NIST CSF 2.0: Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. These core areas form the basis for prioritizing cybersecurity outcomes tailored to the manufacturing sector, enabling manufacturers to align their cybersecurity efforts with business needs, risk tolerance, and available resources.
