No. 107- 347), as well as a variety of practices that impact our national security, citizenry, and the computing industry at large. We appreciate the opportunity to share the following views.  \nThe Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) is the voice of the world's $3 trillion information technology industry. CompTIA membership extends into more than 100 countries and includes companies at the forefront of innovation; including, the channel partners and solution providers they rely on to bring their products to market, and the professionals responsible for maximizing the benefits organizations receive from their technology investments. The promotion of policies that enhance growth and competition within the computing world is central to CompTIA’s core functions. Further, CompTIA’s mission is to facilitate the development of vendor-neutral standards in e-commerce, customer service, workforce development, and ICT (Information and Communications Technology) workforce certification.  \nCompTIA’s members include thousands of small computer services businesses called Value Added Resellers (“VARs”), as well as nearly every major computer hardware manufacturer, software publisher and services provider. Our membership also includes thousands of individuals who are members ofour “IT Pro” and our “TechVoice” groups. Further, we are proud to represent a wide array of entities including those that are highly innovative and entrepreneurial, develop software and hold patents. Likewise, we are proud to represent the American IT worker whom relies on this technology to enhance the lives and productivity of our nation. Based upon a recent CompTIA survey, we estimate that  \none in twelve, or about 12 million American adults, consider themselves to be IT workers.1 This is larger than the number of American adults classified by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (“BLS”) as employed in farming, mining, and construction combined. This is also close to the number of adults classified by BLSas working in manufacturing or transportation. CompTIA has concluded that the IT workforce is now one of the largest and most important parts of the American political community.  \nMy name is M.J. Shoer, the President and Virtual Chief Technology Officer of a VAR, the Jenaly Technology Group and am testifying on behalf of CompTIA. I live in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and have been an information technology entrepreneur. In 1997, I founded Jenaly Technology Group and have since served as its President. Jenaly Technology Group provides IT services to small businesses throughout the region. In my current role, I am active in several IT groups and regularly write about information technology and small business issues.  \nFISMA and the Current Federal Security Ecosystem  \nOn behalf ofCompTIA and its many small business member companies, we welcome the Subcommittee’s exploration ofFISMA and its effectiveness for today’s ever increasingly cybersecurity challenges. Certainly many critics and the other witnesses, including the Government Accountability Office (GAO), have commented on the effectiveness ofFISMA. Recently, the GAO submitted twelve recommendations to the House of Representatives.2 One finding, in particular, the eleventh, is significant for your attention. This finding calls for “increasing the cadre of cybersecurity professionals,” and t","cbCaigVHFsHJBRmy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigVHFsHJBRmy","pdf",353506,"English","# FISMA and the Current Federal Security Ecosystem\n## Identification of Fundamental Flaws","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the testimony regarding federal information security?\",\"answer\":\"It addresses the committee’s exploration of FISMA and its effectiveness against growing cybersecurity challenges, sharing views on needed improvements.\"},{\"question\":\"What major issue does the testimony raise about current federal security awareness training?\",\"answer\":\"It argues the awareness training model is not working and that breaches have increased, while training coverage fell across agencies and contractors.\"},{\"question\":\"What change does the testimony suggest to strengthen the cybersecurity workforce?\",\"answer\":\"It supports actions such as making cybersecurity a profession through testing and licensing, based on referenced GAO findings.\"}]","The State of Federal Information Security - Testimony | PDF",1789882834,13]
