Meet Your 2014 FISMA Requirements: Evolving Continuous Authorization Capabilities and Cybersecurity Calendar

Digital Government Institute's popular FISMA Training Seminar will address how to successfully and effectively meet your 2014 FISMA requirements by understanding the FISMA Trends, Rising Needs and Solutions and creating your own management tools.  Those who attended DGI FISMA courses in the past three years will find this course evolved with the new capabilities and requirements, and contains many new solutions, examples and strategies.

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have 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.
