Recently, government security professionals have been tasked with sorting through an ever-expanding assortment of directives, including the NIST SP 800-53, SCAP, FDCC, FISMA, and Dept. of Homeland Security Software Assurance standards. Fortunately, the recently finalized Consensus Audit Guidelines (CAG) are designed to provide a clear and concise set of security controls that can help you focus on the critical underlying recommendations resident in all of these documents, while addressing the threats and attacks that your organization faces today.

Core Security is pleased to present a special webcast briefing where John Gilligan and Alan Paller, two principal contributors to the CAG, will provide their insights into how you can best approach the guidelines. As the CAG distills the baseline elements of the myriad IT security measures government organizations must digest, this webcast will provide a closer look at the salient points of the CAG recommendations themselves.

You'll learn:

• Where the CAG dovetails with other government security guidelines
• How the CAG addresses blended attacks and other emerging cyber threats
• What role testing and evaluation play in CAG and how they help to strengthen your overall security
• What strategy is recommended for implementing the controls to efficiently achieve baseline security
• How the CAG is likely to be applied, both inside and outside the Federal Government

This one-hour webcast will include a Q&A session, where Gilligan and Paller will directly field your questions about understanding and implementing the various CAG controls. A recording of the webcast will be sent to everyone who registers, so please sign up even if you can't attend the live session.
