RMF Training

In accordance with the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), federal civilian agencies have standardized their IT security authorization (C&A) program, based on a Risk Management Framework (RMF) published by NIST. The Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community are also in the process of adopting the RMF as part of their "Certification and Accreditation (C&A) Transformation" initiative.

In order to effectively implement this process, federal employees and contractors must be adequately educated as soon as possible!
