Why is NIST a great place to work? One of the great things about working on a NIST campus is the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of sports and physical activities — from low-key lunchtime walks on all three campuses, to yoga and dance classes in Boulder, to competitive but friendly soccer, ultimate frisbee and volleyball games in Gaithersburg. Taking a break to play a sport, join a walk, or participate in a class could be just what you need to have a satisfying, healthy workday and connect with new colleagues. NIST's Standards Employees Benefit Association (SEBA) sponsors and has supported a number of activities on our campuses. SEBA is a volunteer organization of NIST employees dedicated to providing social, recreational, and wellness benefits to its members and others who have a close association with NIST.  Aside from these activities, SEBA also manages our campus fitness centers. These are available to all NIST employees, and can be utilized at any point during the day. See below for a list of activities that NISTers engage in: - Walking - Salsa Dance - Slow Flow Yoga - Basketball - Bowling - Gardening - Golf Association - Kickball - Knitting, Crocheting, Spinning, Cross-stitching - Ski Club - Softball League - Soccer - Tennis - Ultimate Frisbee - Volleyball

It’s NICE Cybersecurity Career Week at NIST! In honor of Cybersecurity Career Week, we are highlighting Julie Haney. Julie is a computer scientist who leads the Human-Centered Cybersecurity Program of the Visualization and Usability Group within the Information Technology Laboratory at NIST. Q: What is a high-level overview of the work you do at NIST? In the Human-Centered Cybersecurity Program, we champion the human in cybersecurity. We want people to be at the forefront when designing and implementing cybersecurity products, processes, policies, and services. Towards that end, I conduct applied research and other projects about the human, social, and organizational factors in cybersecurity. These factors include the usability of cybersecurity processes and technologies, organizational security culture, and people’s perceptions, attitudes, behaviors, challenges, and decision-making processes in relation to cybersecurity. Q: What is your favorite aspect about working at NIST? The work is fascinating! I’ve been able to leverage my prior background as a cybersecurity practitioner and apply it in a new way to improve people’s cybersecurity experiences. I’m also able to make a positive impact by getting our research findings into the hands of people who can actually use them, such as cybersecurity practitioners, developers, policymakers, and decision-makers. NIST’s long-standing stellar reputation and relationships across the cybersecurity community really facilitate that sharing. Q: What is a project that has given you the opportunity to grow at NIST? A few years ago, I had the opportunity to bring the human-centered cybersecurity perspective to a NIST team working on a presidential Executive Order. In a tight timeframe, we were tasked with developing criteria on cybersecurity labels for consumer smart products and software. The idea was that the labels would help consumers learn about the security of products and make informed purchase decisions. Never having done anything like that before, it was a master class on how NIST rises to the occasion and engages and values the perspectives of different stakeholders and experts from government, academia, industry, and consumer advocacy groups. I was able to apply both my and others’ research to the effort while also learning about what was actually feasible and acceptable to stakeholders. It really hit home that, as a researcher, you must consider how actionable your research results and recommendations are in practice. The project also provided me the opportunity to meet and learn from other great folks in and outside of NIST.
