BRAND NAME JUSTIFICATION: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Intelligent System Division (lSD) develops, advances and deploys measurement science and standards to speed development, adoption, and integration of leading-edge intelligent technologies to advance U.S. manufacturing. To support ISD's efforts to develop a cybersecurity risk management framework for smart manufacturing systems with associated standards, guidelines, performance metrics, and tools, it is necessary to model these systems and networks and determine the performance impacts of security technologies when used in smart manufacturing systems.
