>From a recent SANS Institute newsletter:
--NIST Releases Draft Guidelines for 3-D Printer Security
(September 11, 2014)
The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has
released draft guidelines for 3-D printer security. The guidelines note
that attackers who manage to breach the printers' security could not
only steal sensitive plans but also pose physical threats to the plants
and employees. The specialized printers, which sometimes use metal
powders to "print" objects, could explode. The machines' commands could
also be altered, undermining the printed objects' integrity. NIST will
accept comments on the document through October 17, 2014.
