IT Security Career Risk Management Framework

cyberspace workforce, DIARMF, Information Assurance, NIST Security Framework, risk jobs, roles,

So you want to get into Information Technology? Well what do you want to do in IT because there are many different branches of it. I would suggest going into IT security, specifically, Risk Management Framework. It is a very specialized field.

You will need to know the fundamental of IT security. The basics on what goes into securing important data and their hardware. You will also need to have at least a little knowledge of technology and its history. You will need to know a LOT about NIST SP 800-37, “Guide for Applying the Risk Management Framework to Federal Information Systems”. You will need to dive into NIST SP 800-53, “Security and Privacy Controls for Federal Information Systems and Organizations”.

Since not many people want to do this work, or even know about it, there is not much competition. They are always looking for qualified people to do it. What you will need is a 4 year degree (preferably in something technical), an IT certification in security (Security+, ISC2 CAP, CISSP, CASP, CISM,CISA) and a lot of knowledge on NIST 800-37.

 

Risk Management Framework NIST 800-37 Step 2: Select security controls intro

DIACAP, diarmf - select, , ,

This is a quick introduction to Step 2 of the Risk Management Framework NIST 800-37 process. Step 2 involves selection of NIST Special Publication 800-53 security controls. There are (3) main tasks that you must do in this step:

1) Select the applicable baseline controls. Selection of baseline controls is based on system categorization.

2) Tailor the Security Controls to the system. Not all security controls can be used because they may break your system. And in some cases they are simply not applicable. There are also Common Controls, Hybrid controls, and system specific controls.

3) Document the Security Controls. You must document the selected security controls in a system security plan and have the security controls reviewed.

Risk Management Framework NIST 800 Step 1 Categorization

certification & accreditation, DIACAP, DIARMF, , , ,

This is an introduction to Step 1, Categorization of the NIST SP 800-37, Risk Management Framework process. Categorization consists of three primary steps:
1) Determining the Security Categorization of the information system. This is done by breaking down the primary information types on the system. You can get great guidance on this from FIPS 199 and NIST SP 800-60 (Volume I-II).
2) Create a System Description. This is really the first step to creating a System Security Plan and it leads to registering the systems.
3) Register the system. This means that you need to advertise the the system to all the stakeholders of the system in the organization. Organizations usually have a method of doing this with a database that can be seen by upper-level management.
