Understanding the New NIST Standards and Guidelines Required by FISMA: How Three Mandated Documents Are Changing the Dynamic of Information Security for the Federal Government

Overview The mandatory standard defined in this bulletin, applicable to non-national security systems as defined by FISMA, introduces some significant changes in how the U.S. Government protects its information and information systems, including those systems that comprise the nation's critical infrastructure. The Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) of 2002 places significant requirements on federal agencies, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), for the protection of information and information systems.
