Cyber Friday: NIST SP 800.171 – 3.1 – Access Control

If you are currently, or are planning to be, a contractor or subcontractor within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) you must comply with the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation (DFARS) 252.204-7012. These regulations state that a contractor or subcontractor must implement the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-171. To help you know how to comply with these DFAR regulations, this series of webinars will overview the 14 Cybersecurity “Families” and their respective controls.

In this webinar we will examine NIST SP 800.171 – 3.1 – Access Control.  Access Control is a critical part of data security and one of the more technical families of security controls. This webinar will review how to assign, secure, and properly access CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information) on a Non-Government Information System.

Topics of discussion include:

• An overview of the concepts and principles critical to access control
• A review of the reference documentation that is essential in evaluating your compliance with these controls
• A review of the controls, their structure, and what the federal regulations are asking of you and your company
