This book was released on 2006-02-28 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the system security plan is to provide an overview of the security requirements of the system and describe the controls in place or planned for meeting those requirements. The system security plan also delineates responsibilities and expected behavior of all individuals who access the system. The system security plan should be viewed as documentation of the structured process of planning adequate, cost-effective security protection for a system. It should reflect input from various managers with responsibilities concerning the system, including information owners, the system owner, and the senior agency information security officer (SAISO). Additional information may be included in the basic plan and the structure and format organized according to agency needs, so long as the major sections described in this document are adequately covered and readily identifiable.

Download or read book FISMA Compliance Handbook written by Laura P. Taylor and published by Syngress Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "FISMA, also known as Title III of the E-Government Act (Public Law107-347), requires that all systems and applications that reside on U.S. government networks undergo a formal security assessment before being put into production. System authorization is the ultimate output of a FISMA compliance project, and a system or application cannot be authorized unless it meets specific security control requirements. However, keep in mind that no system can be completely secure - unless it is powered off and locked in a vault. Of course then it is not very useable. Determining the security controls for the system is a balancing act between making the system useable and making the system secure. These two endeavors are often at odds with each other. In order to find the balance, security experts analyze the probability and impact of potential vulnerabilities being exploited (or not) and then make risk-based decisions based on the analysis. Clearly the goal of FISMA is to force federal agencies to put into production secure systems and applications. Once put into production, FISMA requires that system owners analyze risk periodically on the production system in order to find vulnerabilities, and fix them, before they are exploited by adversaries"--

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
