Book Synopsis Implications of Aggregated DoD Information Systems for Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation by : Eric Landree
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: Significant developments since the publication of its bestselling predecessor, Building and Implementing a Security Certification and Accreditation Program, warrant an updated text as well as an updated title. Reflecting recent updates to the Certified Authorization Professional (CAP®) Common Body of Knowledge (CBK®) and NIST SP 800-37, the Official (ISC)2® Guide to the CAP® CBK®, Second Edition provides readers with the tools to effectively secure their IT systems via standard, repeatable processes. Derived from the author’s decades of experience, including time as the CISO for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the National Science Foundation’s Antarctic Support Contract, the book describes what it takes to build a system security authorization program at the organizational level in both public and private organizations. It analyzes the full range of system security authorization (formerly C&A) processes and explains how they interrelate. Outlining a user-friendly approach for top-down implementation of IT security, the book: Details an approach that simplifies the authorization process, yet still satisfies current federal government criteria Explains how to combine disparate processes into a unified risk management methodology Covers all the topics included in the Certified Authorization Professional (CAP®) Common Body of Knowledge (CBK®) Examines U.S. federal polices, including DITSCAP, NIACAP, CNSS, NIAP, DoD 8500.1 and 8500.2, and NIST FIPS Reviews the tasks involved in certifying and accrediting U.S. government information systems Chapters 1 through 7 describe each of the domains of the (ISC)2® CAP® CBK®. This is followed by a case study on the establishment of a successful system authorization program in a major U.S. government department. The final chapter considers the future of system authorization. The book’s appendices include a collection of helpful samples and additional information to provide you with the tools to effectively secure your IT systems.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weaknesses in info. security (IS) are a widespread problem that can have serious consequences -- such as intrusions by malicious users, compromised networks, and the theft of intellectual property and personally identifiable info. -- and has identified IS as a governmentwide high-risk issue since 1997. Concerned by reports of significant vulnerabilities in fed. computer systems, Congress passed the Fed. IS Mgmt. Act of 2002 (FISMA), which authorized and strengthened IS program, evaluation, and reporting requirements for fed. agencies. This report evaluates: (1) the adequacy and effectiveness of agencies' IS policies and practices; and (2) fed. agencies' implementation of FISMA requirements. Includes recommendations. Illustrations.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, civilian and national security-related info. technology (IT) systems have been governed by different information security policies and guidance. Specifically, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) established policies and guidance for civilian non-national security systems, while other organizations, including the Committee on National Security Systems (CNSS), the DoD, and the U.S. intelligence community, have developed policies and guidance for national security systems. This report assessed the progress of federal efforts to harmonize policies and guidance for these two types of systems. Includes recommendations. Illus. This is a print on demand publication.
