This event qualifies for 11 PDUs

If you are in a Federal Agency, Military, or supporting contractor organization, you can successfully and effectively meet your FY2016 FISMA requirements by understanding the FISMA trends and proven successful, security strategies and solutions. Attendees will be provided:

System deployment strategies to prevent OPM type attacks, like "air-gaps" and "connect-and-protect",
Automated solutions to support "ongoing authorizations",
Simple management tools, like Cybersecurity Calendar and Cybersecurity Journal, and
A modified Risk Management Framework (RMF) process for effectively and accurately identifying and documenting a system's security needs.

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of Defense (DoD), Committee of National Security Systems (CNSS), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has made major advances in moving Federal information technology (IT) security forward. They have created new standards, processes, and solutions that are streamlining and automating security and moving us closer to the goal of total near-real-time security awareness.

This course is about how to implement these standards and processes to successfully meet your FY2016 security and FISMA Metrics.
