4.3: Security Operations

Security Operations

Other Information:

Information Security management has become an area of complexity in protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of systems and data. With system interconnections across OPIC and its external partners, protection and response capabilities must be centrally managed. Preventive and reactive IA services will ensure that a baseline of system security is maintained across interdependencies. Integrated solutions will focus on establishing a framework to effectively identify, evaluate, test, and implement new security solutions in addition to ensuring standard security configurations are implemented across OPIC. Incident Management (IM) will integrate all incident-related services into a single, comprehensive capability that focuses on OPIC-wide incident preparedness and readiness. The Security Operations element will establish a capability to centrally manage OPIC-wide security integration initiatives and IM initiatives. The goal is to build and maintain IA capabilities to effectively manage OPIC-wide system assurance efforts from a central location and efficiently implement security solutions that map to the OPIC’s mission, business requirements, and IA requirements. The comprehensive Security Operations capability will meet the following objectives: • Promote and enforce the implementation and integration of baseline security standards throughout Principal Office lines of business • Monitor and react to potential disruptions impacting Department assets • Develop an operational capability to provide decision support under all conditions
