3.3.2: Support the IT Security Line of Business
As a result of the FEA PMO’s analysis of the FY 2006 budget data, OMB established the IT Security Line of Business to propose
common solutions and architecture strengthening the ability of all agencies to identify vulnerabilities, defend against threats
and manage resulting risks. The FEA PMO will guide this LoB initiative through development of a common solution architecture
by: Providing initial direction on EA work products (i.e., common solutions and target architecture); Reviewing EA work products
and providing feedback;• Reviewing service components developed by the LoB; Identifying areas for reuse or standardization
across agency architectures; and Identifying agency movement toward LoB standards and services in their EA Transition Strategy
The FEA PMO and the LoB task force will collaborate on identifying potential common solutions (e.g., training/awareness, incident
response, certification and accreditation, the selection of security products, reporting, implementation of security configurations,
policy and budget coordination, disaster recovery, contingency planning, and access controls), and will identify business
processes and systems impacted if a security service is standardized or outsourced. Use of the FEA Practice and reference
models to identify areas for reuse and standardization will result in better and more consistent security management processes
and controls across the Federal government.
