Sustaining security / Managing risk

Information system security is one of the most critical responsibilities for many federal IT professionals. Federal agencies are required to plan, deliver, and manage effective IT security programs in accordance with the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) Circular A-130 and the guidelines established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). 

ISO standards or HIPPA rules are often the center of concern for commercial IT security.
