INFORMATION SECURITYOverviewVirus, Trojan Horse, Zombie, Bomb, Spoof, Phish, Spyware, Worm – the jargon of IT system attacks seems never ending. Sophisticated hacker tools are easily obtained. Well-funded and highly motivated organizations back our adversaries. IT systems can be reached from anywhere. "Cyberwar" is our new front line. Nevertheless, in this extremely hostile environment, Federal, State, and local government IT systems continue to provide and expand vital citizen services. Defenses take many forms. Congress enacted the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 and required Exhibit 300 reporting to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as part of the effort to protect government resources and missions. The National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) continues to develop standards, metrics, tests and validation programs, and issue guidance to increase secure IT planning, implementation, management, and operation. Smart cards, biometrics, operating systems, and other defense technologies continue to improve. IT security remains the top priority for many Federal Agencies. The cost of defense is high; the cost of defense lapses can be enormous. Making IT Work. Together.

We begin by performing a rapid, broad-based assessment to capture your organization's IT
security policies, data sensitivity, IT systems, operational security controls, and general IT
security controls - determining your organization's security preparedness. The results of
this initial assessment may lead to more focused evaluations to identify areas of higher
than expected risk, develop additional controls, or update your IT security policies.
