The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has tapped Kevin Stine to serve as the new director of its Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) – one of NIST’s six research laboratories.
“Kevin brings a wealth of experience to this position, along with a proven track record of success,” said NIST Director Laurie E. Locascio.
“He spearheaded the development of NIST’s Cybersecurity Framework, one of the world’s leading sources of cybersecurity guidance, and he has expanded several programs critical to national and economic security,” added Locascio.
At the ITL, Stine will work to expand fundamental and applied research in computer science, mathematics, statistics, systems engineering, cybersecurity, and privacy.
Stine has served for over 17 years at NIST in various roles including as chief of ITL’s Applied Cybersecurity Division. He also served as a chief information security officer at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for over four years.
“Kevin is an extremely well-respected leader – within NIST as well as nationally and globally – and we are thrilled to see him take on this new role,” Locascio said.
