The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released the final versions of five special publications dealing with various aspects of information security last week. The five special publications, drafts of which had been circulating around government for months, should help agencies comply with the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) of 2002 and address concerns frequently expressed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The security guides range from the technical to the general and deal with information security products and technology services, awareness and training, network security testing and the information system development life cycle, among other things.
