The Cryptographic Technology Group in the Computer Security Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, led by Dr. Lily Chen, researches and develops new cryptographic applications, as well as publishing standards for the federal government.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology and General Services Administration are teaming up to ask senior cybersecurity executives to take part in a survey on cybersecurity practices.

The secure, anonymized online questionnaire, which is estimated to take 40 minutes to complete, consists of mostly multiple-choice questions and will be used to inform a fall 2017 briefing at NIST headquarters and a webinar that aim to add value to cybersecurity programs.

The survey is open until Feb. 27, 2017.
