Protecting Federal Information
Protecting valuable federal data, sustaining the availability of the nation’s critical infrastructure, and preserving vital agency-wide information sharing present significant challenges for federal information security teams. Further, the current federal IT climate demands that agencies implement information security programs based on key federal government requirements, including:
- The 2002 Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) mandates
- Relevant Office of Budget and Management (OMB) policies
- National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) guidance related to performing risk assessments, developing information security plans, and testing and evaluating security controls
But government technology environments are particularly complex. They’re highly interactive and highly interconnected across industry, private, state, local, and foreign entities. Still, federal agencies must ensure continued collaboration across environments, while maintaining effective controls to meet information needs without compromising the nation’s critical infrastructure.
Security Compliance Management: Gaining Visibility, Integrity, and Control
Security compliance management solutions empower agencies with the visibility required to meet information security objectives and ensure the validity and integrity of systems. By consolidating and analyzing information from any number of security devices, applications, and operating systems, an integrated security management solution can transform data into actionable intelligence. In this way, the solution can deliver unprecedented control for detecting, responding to, and mitigating the impact of threats on essential federal assets. Plus, a fully auditable security infrastructure can help you demonstrate compliance.
Today’s innovative security compliance management solutions for government agencies should provide everything you need in security best practices for information security and regulatory compliance. The right solution should:
- Help categorize groups of related assets for effective management of the total environment
- Reduce the complexity of the security process—monitoring, incident response, and risk management—as mandated by NIST and Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) Publications 199 and 200
- Provide management with the crucial analysis and robust reporting needed to understand risks and make informed decisions
- Rapidly deliver a high ROI solution by minimizing the cost of downtime and the labor required to manually manage security data and overall infrastructure
- Pinpoint vulnerabilities to assist in refining security policies
- Maximize the utility and value of security point products such as firewalls, virtual private networks (VPN), and intrusion detection systems (IDS) by utilizing information previously impossible to access and manage
- Provide effective security policies based on industry best practices as well as repeatable procedures to identify and respond to security events
