NIST CSF 2.0 Profile for Semiconductor Manufacturing – Comment Period Extended & Workshop Recording Available

The NCCoE, in partnership with the SEMI Consortium for Semiconductor Cybersecurity, has published a public review version of NIST IR 8546, CSF 2.0 Semiconductor Manufacturing Community Profile.

The duration for public feedback on this version has been prolonged until May 30, 2025, 11:59 p.m. EDT. All received feedback will be assessed and resolved to shape the final release.

The Preliminary NIST Internal Report (IR) 8546, Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 Semiconductor Manufacturing Community Profile, outlines an optional, risk-centric methodology to oversee cybersecurity efforts and mitigate cybersecurity threats within semiconductor manufacturing. This Profile targets anticipated cybersecurity results and can be leveraged as a manual to uplift the existing cybersecurity stance of the semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem.

The Public Workshop on Cybersecurity Framework Profile for Semiconductor Manufacturing that transpired on March 13, 2025, can now be accessed via the NCCoE event page.
