OUTLINE

Introduction

 1. What are the basic issues of IT Security?

  • Availability
  • Integrity
  • Confidentiality

 2. What are the key IT security risks?

 3. Who is responsible for IT security?

  • Roles defined by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

Activity 1: Class discussion to list IT security responsibilities for Managers and System Administrators, followed by hand-out and discussion of selected NIST-based requirements for the two roles:

  • How are the responsibilities similar?
  • How are the responsibilities different?

How to Develop Role-Based Training

 1. GISRA/FISMA mandates training for the roles related to Federal IT security requirements.

  • All roles share the general concepts and processes related to IT security.
  • Each role has specific IT-related performance/training requirements.

 2. Resources for identifying role-based training content

  • NIST SP 800-16 (IT Security Training Requirements: Role-Based Training)
  • NIST SP 800-16 IT Security Training Matrix
  • Agency-specific IT security regulations and procedures

Activity 2: Participants divided into two groups, Manager training and System Administrator training. The two groups subdivided into teams of 2-3 that will be assigned one task per team to develop training solutions. Working with flip charts, each team will identify and describe the:

  • Learning objective
  • Presentation mode(s)
  • Individual or group learning/practice activity
  • Learning measurement strategy

Each team will present its training solution to the combined group for discussion and feedback.

Summary

The key steps in developing role-based training will be reviewed, together with resources for identifying performance requirements and content topics.

Follow-up

Following the workshop, the training solutions will be turned into digital files that can be e-mailed to the FISSEA membership list and/or reproduced in the FISSEA newsletter as part of the workshop report.
