NIST Publishes NIST IR 8473, Cybersecurity Framework Profile for Electric Vehicle Extreme Fast Charging Infrastructure | NIST

NIST has published a final cybersecurity framework profile specifically designed for electric vehicle extreme fast charging infrastructure. The profile is intended to help organizations manage cybersecurity risks within the EV/XFC ecosystem by providing a structured approach to assessing and improving their cybersecurity posture.

The profile is based on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and incorporates input from over 220 public comments received during the draft review period. It provides a non-regulatory, voluntary supplement to existing risk management programs, standards, and guidelines currently used by the EV/XFC industry.

Key benefits of using the profile include:
– Helping organizations assess and improve their cybersecurity posture
– Facilitating cross-collaboration between industry parties, vendors, and end users
– Enhancing the overall security of EV/XFC infrastructure
– Aligning with existing cybersecurity standards and guidelines

The profile is part of an enterprise risk management program and is designed to be used in conjunction with other cybersecurity standards and guidelines currently used by the EV/XFC industry.
