Principles and Challenges of the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA)

Overview The Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) focuses on Information Technology (IT) security management and uses the authority of public law to drive improvement across Federal IT programs.

As organizations continue to adjust to evolving IT security requirements under FISMA, OMB, and NIST publications, NetSec recommends that CIOs initiate the following activities to ensure that a security program is structured to succeed.
