A cyber handbook for the c-suite exec and rank-and-file fed>
FCW – Derek B. Johnson
Two tech advisory bodies to the government have developed a new guidebook to train and educate federal cybersecurity professionals. The CISO Handbook, released June 26, is an outgrowth of the recently released President’s Management Agenda and its call for agencies to tackle their tech and cybersecurity workforce challenges. Drafted by the CIO and Chief Information Security Officer Councils, it was designed to appeal both to the C-Suite executive as well as the rank-and-file fed, according to Trey Kennedy, an analyst at the General Services Administration and advisor to the CIO Council. The document lays out the role that both CISOs and CIOs play in executing out the federal government’s cybersecurity mission, outlines best practices around agency risk management and offers guidance around cybersecurity workforce challenges and development, hiring authorities and how to build a team of cyber professionals.
