The Federal IT Security Professional FITSP Certification is being administered by the Federal IT Security Institute. Its mission is to help secure the nation’s federal information systems by certifying that federal workforce members understand and can apply appropriate federal IT security standards. The FITSP program is broken into the four separate roles, which are manager, operator, designer and auditor. This product covers the first two.

Manager and Operator are supposed to be different in that one focuses on management and another on implementation. HOWEVER, they are practically sharing many of the knowledge areas. In fact, experience shows that clear-cut boundaries between the involved topics can hardly be established. Studying on a role-by-role basis may save you time, but the coverage received may not be sufficient for clearing the exam. In fact it may be a way better approach for you to go through everything included in this guide as a whole, rather than to restrict your focus on the role specific topics (when they overlap so much you better play safe).

The FITSP certification contents are based on the NIST material. The NIST material covers knowledge that are the mainstream common standards in use today.

When we develop our material we do not classify topics the BOK way. We follow our own flow of instructions which we think is more logical for the overall learning process. Don’t worry, it does not hurt to do so, as long as you truly comprehend the material.

This ExamFOCUS book focuses on the more difficult topics that will likely make a difference in exam results. The book is NOT intended to guide you through every single official topic. You should therefore use this book together with other reference books for the best possible preparation outcome.
