This is a Hard copy of the NIST Special Publication 800-137, Information Security Continuous Monitoring For Federal Information Systems And Organizations.The Risk Management Framework (RMF) developed by NIST, t describes a disciplined and structured process that integrates information security and risk management activities into the system development life cycle. Ongoing monitoring is a critical part of that risk management process. In addition, an organization's overall security architecture and accompanying security program are monitored to ensure that organization-wide operations remain within an acceptable level of risk, despite any changes that occur. Timely, relevant, and accurate information is vital, particularly when resources are limited and agencies must prioritize their efforts.Information security continuous monitoring (ISCM) is defined as maintaining ongoing awareness of information security, vulnerabilities, and threats to support organizational risk management decisions.Any effort or process intended to support ongoing monitoring of information security across an organization begins with leadership defining a comprehensive ISCM strategy encompassing technology, processes, procedures, operating environments, and people. This strategy:Is grounded in a clear understanding of organizational risk tolerance and helps officials set priorities and manage risk consistently throughout the organization;Includes metrics that provide meaningful indications of security status at all organizational tiers; Ensures continued effectiveness of all security controls;Verifies compliance with information security requirements derived from organizational missions/business functions, federal legislation, directives, regulations, policies, and standards/guidelines;Is informed by all organizational IT assets and helps to maintain visibility into the security of the assets;Ensures knowledge and control of changes to organizational systems and environments of operation; andDisclaimer This hardcopy is not published by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the US Government or US Department of Commerce.

The purpose of the National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication 800-137 “Information Security Continuous Monitoring (ISCM) for Federal Information Systems and Organizations guideline is to assist organizations in the development of a continuous monitoring strategy and the implementation of a continuous monitoring program providing visibility into organizational assets, awareness of threats and vulnerabilities, and visibility into the effectiveness of deployed security controls. It provides ongoing assurance that planned and implemented security controls are aligned with organizational risk tolerance as well as the information needed to respond to risk in a timely manner should observations indicate that the security controls are inadequate.~

Information security continuous monitoring (ISCM) is defined as maintaining ongoing awareness of information security, vulnerabilities, and threats to support organizational risk management decisions.Ongoing monitoring is a critical part of the risk management process. In addition, an organization''s overall security architecture and accompanying security program are monitored to ensure that organization-wide operations remain within an acceptable level of risk, despite any changes that occur. Timely, relevant, and accurate information is vital, particularly when resources are limited and agencies must prioritize their efforts. Why buy a book you can download for free? First you gotta find it and make sure it''s the latest version, not always easy. Then you gotta print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people - and its outta paper - and the toner is low (take out the toner cartridge, shake it, then put it back). If it''s just 10 pages, no problem, but if it''s a 250-page book, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour. An engineer that''s paid $75 an hour has to do this himself (who has assistant''s anymore?). If you are paid more than $10 an hour and use an ink jet printer, buying this book will save you money. It''s much more cost-effective to just order the latest version from Amazon.com This public domain material is published by 4th Watch Books.

NIST Special Publication 800-39, Managing Information Security Risk, is the flagship document in the series of information security standards & guidelines. It provides guidance for an integrated, organization-wide program for managing information security risk resulting from the operation & use of federal information systems. It provides a structured, yet flexible approach for managing risk that is intentionally broad-based, with the specific details of assessing, responding to, & monitoring risk on an ongoing basis provided by other supporting NIST publications. This guidance is not intended to replace or subsume other risk-related approaches that organizations have implemented or intend to implement addressing areas of risk management covered by other requirements. Rather, the risk management guidance described herein is complementary to & should be used as part of a more comprehensive Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program.NIST Special Publication 800-30 (rev 1), Guide for Conducting Risk Assessments, provides guidance for conducting risk assessments of federal information systems & organizations, amplifying the guidance in Special Publication 800-39. Risk assessments, carried out at all three tiers in the risk management hierarchy, are part of an overall risk management process-providing senior leaders with the information needed to determine appropriate courses of action in response to identified risks. In particular, this document provides guidance for carrying out each of the steps in the risk assessment process (i.e., preparing for, conducting, communicating the results of, & maintaining the assessment) & how risk assessments & other risk management processes complement & inform each other. It also provides guidance on identifying specific risk factors to monitor on an ongoing basis, so that organizations can determine whether risks have increased to unacceptable levels & different courses of action should be taken.NIST Special Publication 800-37 (rev 1), Guide for Applying the Risk Management Framework to Federal Information Systems, provides guidelines for applying the Risk Management Framework to federal information systems to include conducting the activities of security categorization, security control selection & implementation, security control assessment, information system authorization, & security control monitoring. NIST Special Publication 800-137, Information Security Continuous Monitoring (ISCM) for Federal Information Systems and Organizations, assists organizations in the development of an Information Systems Continuous Monitoring (ISCM) strategy & the implementation of an ISCM program that provides awareness of threats & vulnerabilities, visibility into organizational assets, & the effectiveness of deployed security controls. The ISCM strategy & program support ongoing assurance that planned & implemented security controls are aligned with organizational risk tolerance, as well as the ability to provide the information needed to respond to risk in a timely manner.
