  1. FITSP-MModule 2 Government Laws

  2. Leadership Government likes to begin things – to declare grand new programs and causes and national objectives. But good beginnings are not the measure of success. What matters in the end is completion. Performance. Results. Not just making promises, but making good on promises. In my Administration, that will be the standard from the farthest regional office of government to the highest office of the land. President George W. Bush • My Administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government. We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration. Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government. • - President Barack Obama

  10. The Evolution of FISMA Compliance This process is designed to shift our efforts away from a culture of paperwork reports. The focus must be on implementing solutions that actually improve security. • Continuous Monitoring • Timely, and Role-relevant Information • Outcome-based Metrics • “metrics are a policy statement about what Federal entities should concentrate resources on” • Monthly Data Feeds Directly from Security Management Tools (CyberScope) • Government-wide Benchmarking on Security Posture (Questionnaire) • Agency-specific interviews (CyberStat with DHS)
