  1. Integrated Enterprise-wide Risk ManagementInformation Security Transformation for the Federal GovernmentAFCEA Cybersecurity SymposiumJune 25, 2009 Department of Defense Intelligence Community National Institute of Standards and Technology

  2. Information Security Transformation Establishing a common approach to risk management Converging parallel efforts across the IC, DoD, and federal civil agencies. Leveraging partnerships with CNSS and NIST Benefiting the federal government and its partners Facilitating information sharing and reciprocity Achieving process efficiencies Improving communication and increasing decision advantage Promoting outreach to state and local governments and private sector (including contracting base)

  3. Transformation Goals Establish a common approach to risk management. Define a common set of trust (impact) levels; adopt and apply those levels across the federal government. Adopt reciprocity as the norm, enabling organizations to accept the approvals by others without retesting or reviewing. Define, document, and adopt common security controls. Adopt a common security lexicon—providing a common language and common understanding.

  4. Transformation Goals Institute a senior risk executive function, which bases decisions on an “enterprise” view of risk considering all factors, including mission, IT, budget, and security. Incorporate information security into Enterprise Architectures and deliver security as common enterprise service across the federal government. Enable a common process that incorporates information security within the “life cycle” processes and eliminate security-specific processes.

  5. Unique Information Security Requirements The “Delta” Intelligence Community Department of Defense Federal Civil Agencies • Foundational Set of Information Security Standards and Guidance • Standardized risk management process • Standardized security categorization (criticality/sensitivity) • Standardized security controls (safeguards/countermeasures) • Standardized security assessment procedures • Standardized security authorization process Common Information Security Requirements Unified Information Security Framework The Generalized Model National security and non national security information systems

  6. STRATEGIC RISK FOCUS TACTICAL RISK FOCUS • Multi-tiered Risk Management Approach • Implemented by the Risk Executive Function • Enterprise Architecture and SDLC Focus • Flexible and Agile Implementation LEVEL 1 Organization NIST SP 800-39 LEVEL 2 Mission / Business Process LEVEL 3 Information System Risk Management Hierarchy

  10. Starting Point FIPS 199 / SP 800-60 / CNSSI 1253 CATEGORIZE Information System FIPS 200 / SP 800-53 / CNSSI 1253 SP 800-37 / SP 800-53A Define criticality/sensitivity of information system according to potential worst-case, adverse impact to mission/business. SELECT Security Controls MONITOR Security State Select baseline security controls; apply tailoring guidance and supplement controls as needed based on risk assessment. Continuously track changes to the information system that may affect security controls and reassess control effectiveness. Security Life Cycle SP 800-39 SP 800-37 AUTHORIZE Information System SP 800-53A SP 800-70 Implement security controls within enterprise architecture using sound systems engineering practices; apply security configuration settings. Determine risk to organizational operations and assets, individuals, other organizations, and the Nation; if acceptable, authorize operation. ASSESS Security Controls IMPLEMENT Security Controls Determine security control effectiveness (i.e., controls implemented correctly, operating as intended, meeting security requirements for information system). Risk Management Framework

  11. RISK EXECUTIVE FUNCTION Enterprise-wide Oversight, Monitoring, and Risk Management Strategy Organizational Inputs Laws, Directives, Policy Guidance Strategic Goals and Objectives Priorities and Resource Availability Supply Chain Considerations Architecture Description Architecture Reference Models Segment and Solution Architectures Mission and Business Processes Information System Boundaries RMF RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK INFORMATION SYSTEM INFORMATION SYSTEM Authorization Decision Authorization Decision SP SP SP SP SP SP SAR SAR SAR SAR SAR SAR INFORMATION SYSTEM INFORMATION SYSTEM Authorization Decision POAM POAM POAM POAM POAM POAM Authorization Decision Common Controls (Inherited by Information Systems) Authorization Decision Authorization Decision SP: Security Plan SAR: Security Assessment Report POAM: Plan of Action and Milestones
