FISMA
FISMA imposes a mandatory set of processes that must be followed for all information systems used or operated by a U.S. federal government agency or by a contractor or other organization on behalf of a federal agency. The recently released Consensus Audit Guidelines (CAG) prescribes application whitelisting, define and allow on trusted software, as a best practice for achieving FISMA compliance.
Bit9 helps federal agencies ensure FISMA compliance by preventing the installation or execution of unauthorized applications and the use of unauthorized portable storage devices. These controls minimize the risk of malicious, illegal and unauthorized software that can create vulnerabilities and enable targeted attacks.
