With the increasing use of emerging technologies and the associated information security threat threshold, Ohio University has adopted the NIST 800-53 security control framework to support their regulatory compliance efforts. NIST 800-53 is being implemented to provide a comprehensive set of security controls. This control framework is responsible for instituting minimum requirements that meet approved standards and guidelines for information security systems. It provides a baseline for managing issues relating to mobile and cloud computing, insider threats, trustworthiness and resilience of their information systems. NIST defines the standards and guidelines to be adhered to meet the cyber security control that align to FISMA expectations.
