NIST Expert Says Legacy Systems Must Be FISMA Compliant Within 1 Year

Legacy systems are expected to be in compliance with NIST within 1 year of the publication date, according to Dr. Ron Ross of NIST in his presentation today about FISMA Compliance. And that is not all! Systems under development are expected to to be in compliance immediately upon deployment.

We sponsored a Government Computer News webcast on FISMA Compliance this morning with Dr. Ross to record attendance! (Over 900 people signed up!)

Ross went through FISMA guidelines, cleared up misconceptions on FISMA Compliance, and made recommendations for sound strategies to to get compliant with FISMA in short order.

Three key takeaways:

"Successful FISMA Implementation demands that organizations adopt an "enterprise-wide" Security Strategy"

"Common controls must be continuously monitored with results shared with all information system owners"

"Continuous Monitoring; Facilitates annual FISMA reporting requirements"

Log Management and Intelligence delivers FISMA Compliance in minutes. Our just announced FISMA Compliance and Control Suite helps government agencies verify that information security policies are being followed, substantially reduce audit time and expense, and achieve FISMA compliance. Out-of-the-box reports and alerts directly map to NIST standards, including NIST 800-53 (security controls) and NIST 800-92 (log management), providing an efficient, easy-to-implement solution. Our approach is cost-effective, using all available log data to automate the process of auditing and enforcing policies - and supports 100% of all log-related IT controls as outlined by FISMA. And -- its the first FISMA compliance solution based on log management and intelligence.
