Information Security Continuous Monitoring for Federal Information Systems and Organizations

5 Day Workshop

SecureInfo Corporation is pleased to announce the release of our newest offering relating to the NIST Risk Management Framework. The Information Security Continuous Monitoring for Federal Information Systems and Organizations Workshop explores new guidance, policy and procedures for implementing a well-developed and thorough strategy for building a continuous monitoring program IAW SP 800-137, 800-39, 800-55, 800-128, 800-37 (Rev. 1), and 800-53 (Rev. 3).

This in-depth workshop builds on the principles of the NIST Risk Management Framework (Step 6) and supporting NIST guidance (Risk Management, Performance Measurements, Security Control Catalogue, Security Control Assessment Procedures, Configuration Management, System Development Life Cycle, etc.) to familiarize the student with the new continuous monitoring guidance relating to understanding the process, identifying procedures, developing an organizational strategy and ultimately, incorporating a continuous monitoring program into the organizational mission/business functions.
