He developed the first set of unified information security standards and guidelines for all federal agencies, and most recently helped establish the government-wide program for cloud security assessment and authorization.

“Ron Ross has played a critical role in ensuring a higher level of protection for federal information systems, and has significantly strengthened critical infrastructures and created a more secure nation,” said Matt Scholl, chief of NIST’s computer security division. “His risk management framework is fundamentally changing the way federal agencies protect information and information systems, and is reducing the vulnerability of the U.S. critical infrastructures to cyberattacks.”
