Why Should You Care About Information Security
Everyone knows that Information Security is now a major area of focus and concern for all companies and organizations. With a vast array of Botnets and exploits at their disposal, a large and technically diverse group of international hackers can threaten exposure and exploitation of businesses/organizations anywhere and of any size. To make matters worse, the level and intensity of nation-state actors working to uncover national and corporate secrets is on the rise as many nations view cyber espionage as a great equalizer. That puts the interests of both businesses and organizations at risk. To address this risk, it is now more important than ever to provide adequate security measures capable of reducing and eliminating a company’s or organization’s exposure to these bad actors.
FISMA: NIST-based Risk Management Framework
Federal organizations respond to these security challenges based on implementing the security requirements defined by the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA). In certain cases, the requirements established by FISMA are also applicable to businesses and organizations supporting federal organizations.
ACTS can help businesses and organizations successfully navigate the expansive and sometimes confusing FISMA security landscape. To address this critical need for businesses and organizations, ACTS has developed a comprehensive security life cycle process designed to help businesses and organizations implement the security requirements established by FISMA. Since FISMA requirements are implemented through the use of National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) Special Publications (SPs) on security, the ACTS approach relies on providing security services designed to meet specific needs anywhere in the security life cycle.
ISO 27001 Information Security
Security requirements based on FISMA guidance generally do not apply to most businesses and organizations. However, the need to establish a secure business or organization and to operate securely configured systems is still a practical need for all businesses and organizations and provides a cost-effective way for minimizing exposure to theft of corporate secrets and potential lawsuits from affected customers. The International Standards Organization (ISO) 27001 established Information Security Management System is an internationally recognized approach at applying security methods and processes to meet the security requirements of all businesses and organizations.
