System Security Plans 101

I just came back from my trip to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center on the U.S. Army's Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama, where I did a presentation on FISMA System Security Plans. I have posted the power point in the shared documents on this site.

While there, I did visit the U.S. Space & Rocket Center, Marshall's official Visitor Center.

Here is the information and description of the talk.

System Security Plans are part of the required documentation for certification and accreditation package. Documenting your SSP can be a daunting task, so how can you make it easy? This overview session covers; who is responsible for the SSP, plan contents, overview of implementation detail for selected controls, flexibility of the SSP, plan maintenance issues, and what a SSP is not.
