This free online course explains all of the Federal Information Security Modernization Act's essential aspects. The US Government introduced the Federal Information Security Modernization Act in 2002 to protect its precious data. With this Cybersecurity Regulatory Framework Course, students can examine this regulation closely, understand its implications, and learn to perform the FISMA audit. The steps of ensuring compliance with FISMA are also discussed, and a comparison between an equally important federal regulation known as FedRAMP is made.
