Assessing the Factors that Determine Compliance with the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA)
No full textAlthough Federal agencies have made progress in their FISMA compliance efforts, most agencies continue to report deficiencies that could impact the confidentiality, integrity and availability of agency information and information systems. Federal agencies are required to submit numerous metrics (also referred to as measures), defined by the Department of Homeland Security and Office of Management and Budget, related to FISMA compliance. The purpose of this dissertation was to assess factors that determine FISMA compliance from the perspectives of agency Inspectors General and Congress. Most of the previous work performed in this area has been performed by Federal agencies and contractors working on behalf of agencies (e.g. GAO, IGs, Independent Public Accounting Firms, etc.). The majority of Federal reports produced by these entities related to the subject matter tend to all have the same observations: • Overall, Federal agencies have made progress in implementing FISMA requirements; however, there’s still room for improvement • FISMA reporting and compliance requirements and measures are still evolving • Historically, FISMA measures have not provided true insight into agency information security program effectiveness This research expands on these observations, drawing insights from Institutional Theory literature, to identify specific factors that affect FISMA compliance

The Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) ::a legal research guide /
No full textFISMA was enacted in 2002 to increase national security following the events of 9/11. The Act establishes a matrix of responsibilities across every federal agency to establish security when acquiring information technology. The purpose of this research guide is to aid legal researchers in locating and navigating the best resources to understand the obligations under this Act, process and regulations that must be followed through the acquisition and management of information technology, and the performance and attetsation requirements to ensure compliance. The first part of the guide will focus on the newer Act, FISMA, and resources to research it directly. The later portions of the guide will look more broadly at inter-related resources that will be necessary for your research.--Publisher
Black Box FISMA-based Security Control Assessment of Public Cloud Providers
Get PDFPublic cloud computing solutions are desirable for business and government agencies to outsource infrastructure technology requirements. This decision transfers the responsibility of certain security controls to the cloud provider, and impacts the ability for system owner oversight of security. Government agencies are required by law to conform to the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 (FISMA) that outlines a collection of security controls that must be implemented. Cloud service providers therefore have to implement these controls, at a minimum, to be valid for government usage. Given the known library of controls that must be implemented by the Cloud service provider, this paper identifies 9% of FISMA-based NIST 800-53 security controls can be validated externally by an end-user of a cloud service provider with confidence
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
