NIST and CISA finalize playbook to stop token theft and forgery

NIST and CISA released NIST IR 8587, a finalized guidance document addressing token theft, forgery, and misuse for federal agencies and cloud service providers. The playbook outlines controls for key management, token verification, token lifecycle, and the design of identity providers and authorization servers.

Why it matters: Federal agencies and cloud providers must implement these controls to defend against token-based attacks that bypass traditional perimeter security and compromise access to critical systems and data.
