Download or read book Implications of Aggregated DoD Information Systems for Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation written by Eric Landree and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The challenges associated with securing U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) information systems have grown as the department's information infrastructure has become more complex and interconnected. At the same time, the potential negative consequences associated with cyber intrusions have become more severe. Are current information assurance (IA) policies and procedures sufficient to address this growing threat, and are they able to address vulnerability issues associated with highly networked information systems? The current IA certification and accreditation (C&A) process focuses on individual, discrete systems or components of larger, aggregated information systems and networks that are colocated or operate on the same platform (such as a Navy ship). An examination of current policy shows that a new approach is needed to effectively extend the IA C&A process to aggregations of information systems and improve the security of DoD information systems. A number of recommendations are put forth to improve current IA policy and to enable the IA C&A of aggregations of DoD information systems that reside on a common platform. --Book Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FISMA and the Risk Management Framework: The New Practice of Federal Cyber Security deals with the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), a law that provides the framework for securing information systems and managing risk associated with information resources in federal government agencies. Comprised of 17 chapters, the book explains the FISMA legislation and its provisions, strengths and limitations, as well as the expectations and obligations of federal agencies subject to FISMA. It also discusses the processes and activities necessary to implement effective information security management following the passage of FISMA, and it describes the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Risk Management Framework. The book looks at how information assurance, risk management, and information systems security is practiced in federal government agencies; the three primary documents that make up the security authorization package: system security plan, security assessment report, and plan of action and milestones; and federal information security-management requirements and initiatives not explicitly covered by FISMA. This book will be helpful to security officers, risk managers, system owners, IT managers, contractors, consultants, service providers, and others involved in securing, managing, or overseeing federal information systems, as well as the mission functions and business processes supported by those systems. - Learn how to build a robust, near real-time risk management system and comply with FISMA - Discover the changes to FISMA compliance and beyond - Gain your systems the authorization they need
