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
Download or read book Threat Level Red written by Michael Erbschloe and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-07-06 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is extensive government research on cyber security science, technology, and applications. Much of this research will be transferred to the private sector to aid in product development and the improvement of protective measures against cyber warfare attacks. This research is not widely publicized. There are initiatives to coordinate these research efforts but there has never been a published comprehensive analysis of the content and direction of the numerous research programs. This book provides private sector developers, investors, and security planners with insight into the direction of the U.S. Government research efforts on cybersecurity.

Book excerpt: Pervasive and sustained cyber attacks continue to pose a potentially devastating threat to the systems and operations of the fed. gov¿t. Many nation states, terrorist networks, and organized criminal groups have the capability to target elements of the U.S. info. infrastructure for intelligence collection, intellectual property theft, or disruption. The dependence of fed. agencies on info. systems to carry out essential, everyday operations can make them vulnerable to an array of cyber-based risks.

Book excerpt: Computers and computer networking provide major benefits to modern society, yet the growing costs of malicious cyber activities and cybersecurity itself diminish these benefits. Advances in cybersecurity are urgently needed to preserve the Internets growing social and economic benefits by thwarting adversaries and strengthening public trust of cyber systems. On December 18, 2014 the President signed into law the Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014. This law requires the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) and the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) Program to develop and maintain a cybersecurity research and development (R&D) strategic plan (the Plan) using an assessment of risk to guide the overall direction of Federally-funded cybersecurity R&D. This plan satisfies that requirement and establishes the direction for the Federal R&D enterprise in cybersecurity science and technology (S&T) to preserve and expand the Internets wide-ranging benefits. This book reviews the strategy and implementation for research and development of federal cybersecurity.

Download or read book CDM the Future of Federal Cybersecurity written by Subcommittee on Cybersecurity and Infras and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-25 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In providing effective cybersecurity, the ability of the Federal enterprise to monitor and assess the vulnerabilities and threats to its networks and systems in real time or as near real time as possible is paramount. This is what the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation, or CDM, program at DHS is all about, understanding what and who is on Federal networks so that we can achieve true visibility into the Federal Government's digital ecosystem. Phase 1 of CDM is to provide visibility into Federal networks and information systems by working to identify what was on Federal networks. It was a simple question, really. What hardware and software was on the systems an agency or department was running? This was about taking stock of those internet-connected assets. As DHS has moved through Phase 1, they found an incredible amount of devices connected to our networks that agencies were not previously aware of. How can you protect what you cannot see? How can you modernize your technology if you do not even know what technology you have? It is no secret that the Government has trouble buying technology. Old and outdated technology is not only a barrier to the Federal Government completing its mission to serve the American people in a digital world, but brings with it insecurities and raises serious cybersecurity risks for each and every agency and department.
Download or read book The Federal Government s Track Record on Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure written by United States. Congress. Senate. Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and published by . This book was released on 2014-05-08 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Congressional report details serious vulnerabilities in the government's efforts to protect its own civilian computers and networks, and the critical, sensitive information they contain. The report compiles problems identified in over 40 audits, investigations and reviews by agency Inspectors General (IG), the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and others. In many cases, simple fixes like using stronger passwords, and applying patches and updates in a timely manner, would fix critical vulnerabilities. The report highlights numerous government cyber failures, including: Last February, hackers broke into the U.S. Emergency Alert System and broadcast warnings of zombie attacks to several U.S. cities.; Internal Revenue Service (IRS) computers were been found to have literally thousands of serious vulnerabilities because critical software patches have not been installed; and in 2012, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)mishandled and potentially exposed critically sensitive information, including diagrams of how to hack into trading exchanges. This is a print on demand report.
