Identify one key concept that you learned in chapters covered through week 3 that you think is important for your professional career.  Write a 2 page paper on the concept you chose.  In your paper, cover these key points:

• Full describe the concept you identified from what you learned so far.  Be very detailed and pretend you are explaining the concept to someone who knows very little about it.  Be sure to include citations to sources from the library and textbook.  You will need to use APA format. 
• Identify how you will apply the concept to the job you have or that you aspire to achieve.  Be very specific about the job role and tasks
• Tell why you think knowledge of this concept is important.

Reflect deeply when you write this paper as this a personal reflection and not just a research paper on the topic.   Think about how you will apply what you learned and your writing will be evaluated on the quality of your reflection on your chosen topic.   Describing how you will apply what you learned is a very important part of this assignment. 

Project #2: Securing Digital Government Services

For this paper, you will research potential and existing security issues affecting digital government websites. Government websites enable customers to enroll in programs and services, check the status of benefits, and receive information about the federal government’s activities. Your audience for this research report is the Chief Information Officer for a small federal agency who asked for assistance in developing a risk assessment and risk mitigation strategy for the agency’s digital government websites.

Note: this research report is separate from the report you previously prepared about OPEN data and may not reuse information from that report. This paper must address other types of government services. See Table 1 for the list of websites to use in your research.

For this report, you should begin by reviewing three or more specific digital government websites (from the list provided in Table 1) to determine:

(a) the types of information provided by the websites

(b) the types of services provided by the websites

(c) security issues which could impact the delivery of digital government services by the websites

After you have reviewed these websites, review the Federal Cybersecurity Risk Determination Report and Action Plan https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Cybersecurity-Risk-Determination-Report-FINAL_May-2018-Release.pdf to identify additional sources of risk that the agency must be aware of and should address in its planning. You should also review Executive Order 13800 Strengthening the Cybersecurity of Federal Networks and Critical Infrastructure https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/presidential-executive-order-strengthening-cybersecurity-federal-networks-critical-infrastructure/

3. Review three or more websites that deliver digital government services (select from those listed in Table 1). What types of information or services are available via these websites? What population do these websites serve (who is in the intended audience for each website)?

4. As part of your Digital Government websites review, determine the types and sensitivity of information collected, displayed, processed, and stored by the Web applications that implement the Digital Government services. 

a. See http://www.digitalgov.gov/resources/checklist-of-requirements-for-federal-digital-services/ for general security and privacy requirements. 

b. See FIPS 199 for additional guidance on determining the sensitivity level of a Federal IT system. (See the section on public websites.)

5. Using FIPS 200, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and NIST SP 800-53, research the general types of security controls required by IT systems hosting the Digital Government service that you reviewed. 

a. FIPS 200 https://doi.org/10.6028/NIST.FIPS.200 

b. NIST Cybersecurity Framework https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/CSWP/NIST.CSWP.04162018.pdf 

c. NIST SP 800-53 https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/specialpublications/nist.sp.800-53r4.pdf 

6. Find three or more additional sources that provide information about best practice recommendations for ensuring the security of the Web Applications used to deliver Digital Government information and services. These additional sources can include analyst reports and/or news stories about recent attacks/threats, data breaches, cybercrime, cyber terrorism, etc. that impacted the security of digital government services.

Write:

Write a five- to seven-page summary of your research. At a minimum, your summary must include the following:

1. An introduction or overview of digital government that provides definitions and addresses the laws, regulations, and policies that require federal agencies to provide information and services via the Web. This introduction should be suitable for an executive audience.

2. An overview of the information and services provided by the digital government Websites that you reviewed.  Answer the following questions:

a. What types of information or services are available via your selected Websites? 

b. What populations do the websites serve (who is the intended audience)? 

c. What sensitivity level are applicable to each Website (use FIPS 199 criteria).

d. What security issues did you observe during your review?

3. A separate section that addresses the architectures and security issues inherent in the use of Web applications when used to deliver the services provided by your selected digital government Website. Include 5 or more examples of security issues and address how these issues contribute to increased risk. 

4. A separate section that includes recommendations for best practices for ensuring Web application security during the design, implementation, and operation of digital government websites. Include five or more best practice recommendations in your recommendations. (Hint: at least one of your recommendations should address use of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. Another recommendation should address use of NIST SP 800-53 controls for ensuring security and privacy.) 

5. A closing section in which you summarize your research and your recommendations.
