FISMA and the Risk Management Framework: The New Practice of Federal Cyber Security is a book that focuses on the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) and the framework it provides for securing information systems in federal government agencies. The book is made up of 17 chapters that explain the provisions of the FISMA legislation, its strengths and limitations, and the expectations and obligations of federal agencies subject to it.

The book delves into the processes and activities that are required for effective information security management following the passage of FISMA, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Risk Management Framework. It also discusses how information assurance, risk management, and information systems security are practiced in federal government agencies.

The book goes on to cover the three primary documents that make up the security authorization package: system security plan, security assessment report, and plan of action and milestones. It also explores federal information security-management requirements and initiatives not explicitly covered by FISMA.

Overall, this book is a useful resource for security officers, risk managers, system owners, IT managers, contractors, consultants, service providers, and anyone else involved in securing, managing, or overseeing federal information systems and the mission functions and business processes they support.
