Okay, here’s a breakdown of the provided text, verifying claims and summarizing the key information.I’ll present it in a structured format, suitable for understanding the update to NIST SP 800-82 Rev. 4.
Summary: NIST Seeks Public Input on Revision of SP 800-82 – Guide to Operational Technology Security
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is revising its Special Publication 800-82 Rev.4, the Guide to Operational Technology (OT) Security, and is soliciting public comments to improve the document. This revision aims to incorporate lessons learned, align with newer NIST guidance, and address the evolving OT threat landscape. The public comment period closes on February 23rd.

* Deadline: February 23rd (of the current year, implied to be 2024) (Verified: Explicitly stated.)
Specific Areas Where NIST is Seeking Input:
- Expanded Guidance for OT Systems: NIST is considering expanding guidance for systems like building automation, transit, and maritime. they are asking stakeholders to suggest additional OT systems that should be included.
- Emerging Technologies: NIST wants feedback on how to best incorporate guidance on technologies like:
* Behavioral anomaly detection
* Digital twins
* Internet of Things (IoT)
* Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)
* Zero Trust architecture
* Cloud computing
* 5G and advanced wireless
* Edge computing
- Updating Existing Guidance: NIST is updating sections covering:
* OT threat landscape
* Vulnerabilities
* Incidents
* Cybersecurity capabilities,tools,and mitigations
- Document Structure:
* OT Overlay (Appendix F): Proposed to be moved to a separate,standalone document.
* Appendices C,D,and E: Proposed to be moved to dynamic web resources.(These cover threat sources, OT security organizations/research, and OT security capabilities
