Editor’s Note: NIST SP 800-12, Revision 1 by Michael Nieles, Kelley Dempsey and Victoria Yan Pillitteri is available here, NIST.SP.800-12r1.pdf.
From: NIST
NIST is pleased to announce the release of Special Publication 800-12 Revision 1, An Introduction to Information Security. Information security is a constantly growing and evolving science. This revision, while looking visibly different than the original, still follows the direction established when SP 800-12 was initially published. This publication serves as a starting-point for those new to information security as well as those unfamiliar with NIST information security publications and guidelines. The intent of this Special Publication is to provide a high-level overview of information security principles, introduce related concepts, and also to broadly discuss the security control families defined in NIST SP 800-53, Security and Privacy Controls for Systems and Organizations.
