Overview/Purpose
The Information Security and Identity Management Committee (ISIMC) provides a consensus based forum to support the Federal CIO Council (FCIOC) that enables Chief Information Officers (CIOs) and Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) to collaborate on: (1) identifying high priority security and identity management initiatives; and (2) developing recommendations for policies, procedures, and standards to address those initiatives that enhance the security posture and protection afforded to Federal Government networks, information, and information systems. | |
