Has your organizations implemented an Information Assurance or Security Awareness initiative to protect your companies knowledge and assets?As a provider of cyber security training services to the U.S.
government and Fortune 1000 companies, Global Learning Systems works with many organizations, including Areva, Health and Human Services and the Department of
Education, to implement effective security awareness initiatives and
programs to meet federal and corporate guidelines to protect the information technology infrastructure.
In response to requests by
many of our customers, Global Learning Systems (GLS) developed a
customizable, Off-the-shelf (COTS) security awareness program that
meets federal, state, local and internal security training standards and
requirements.
As published in a memorandum from the Executive Office of the President,
All agencies [Federal Government and Federal Contractors] must implement the requirements of FISMA and report
annually to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and Congress on
the effectiveness of their security programs. (Source: http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/memoranda/fy2005/m05-15.html)
The requirements of FISMA include educating your end-users on the following security and information threats:
Appropriate security controls for information systems
Verification of security control effectiveness and determination of information system vulnerabilities
Operational authorization for processing (security accreditation) of information systems
Understanding of enterprise-wide mission risks resulting from the operation and use of information systems
Facilitating more informed security accreditation decisions
FISMA
built and expanded upon earlier legislation, such as the Security Act
of 1987, and added particular emphasis to the management dimension of
information security in the federal government and can be applied to private organizations. FISMA establishes
stronger lines of management responsibility for information security.
