Information System Security

ISTM staff working in Information System Security protect the confidentiality and integrity of the communication and data flowing through and stored on the NIFA network. This branch of ISTM maintains this security while providing accessibility to data used by authorized employees and the public.

The Information System Security staff develop information systems security policies that set the rules of use, guide operations in secure computing, and provide for disaster recovery. They perform periodic tests and scans of the network to verify that it is secure and provide annual information system security training for all NIFA personnel.
