Abstract

Federal agencies install many security controls for Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) implementation. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-53 revision 4 (rev4) standardizes these security and privacy controls. This article presents a study of NIST SP 800-53 security controls. The purpose is to classify the security controls from dimensions relevant to software security. This classification highlights issues and motivates opportunities to drive software security initiatives using FISMA.
