Topic: Improving Your FISMA Scorecard: A Lessons Learned Approach for Building and Managing a High Quality, Standardized and Repeatable Certification & Accreditation Program
Who: Bill Robinson, CISSP, IAM Senior Information Security Consultant and IA Program Manager, SecureInfo Corporation
What: FISMA requires agencies to provide a comprehensive, repeatable and auditable information security process. A centralized and standardized C&A program provides agencies with the foundation necessary to establish and ensure continuous and sustainable information security compliance. This approach ensures consistent and timely agency-wide measurement of the security compliance posture of critical systems and applications - not just as a required, annual audit - but as part of a comprehensive, on-going risk management process.
Through a series of case studies, this session provides a lessons-learned approach on how tools and services are helping Federal agencies achieve enterprise-wide C&A that simplify, accelerate and report accurate documentation for FISMA compliance. The presentation demonstrates how agencies such as The Department of Homeland Security, NASA and the US Pacific Air Forces, have deployed C&A solutions that allow them to centrally manage and streamline the compliance process, provide the flexibility needed for the vast array of disparate systems and ensure the agency's adherence to IA controls.
Where: FIAC 2006 Federal Information Assurance Conference Adelphi, Maryland
When: Wednesday, October 25th, 2006, 8:30 a.m. – 9:30 a.m.
SecureInfo information security and C&A solutions have been successfully deployed enterprise-wide in many Federal agencies and the Department of Defense, including the Department of Homeland Security, NASA and the US Air Force/PACAF. Please visit SecureInfo at booth #18 to learn more.
