The “Guide for Applying the Risk Management Framework to Federal Information Systems” promotes near real-time risk management, encourages the use of automation, integrates information security, emphasizes the selection, implementation, assessment, and overall monitoring of information security controls, links risk management at the information systems level to risks at the organizational level, and establishes responsibility and accountability for security controls.<ref>[https://flank.org/faqs/what-is-nist-sp-800-37 About SP 800-37, Flank]</ref>

====History====

====History====

In February 2013, recognizing the national and economic security of the United States depends on the reliable function of critical infrastructure, President [[Barak Obama]] issued Executive Order 13636, "Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity," ordering NIST to work with stakeholders to develop a voluntary framework based on existing standards, guidelines, and practices for reducing cyber-risks to [[Critical Infrastructure]]. On December 18, 2014, the Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014 (CEA) authorized the Department of Commerce, through NIST, to develop voluntary standards to reduce cyber-risks to critical infrastructure.<ref>[https://itlaw.wikia.org/wiki/Cybersecurity_Enhancement_Act_of_2014 CEA, IT Law Wiki]</ref> The law also ordered the Office of Science and Technology Policy to develop a federal cybersecurity research and development plan. Section 502 required the Director of NIST to ensure interagency coordination toward the development of international technical standards for IT security and transmit to Congress a plan.
