Another year of poor IT security scores for government agencies has prompted the House Government Reform Committee to launch the CISO Exchange. Striving for what it calls a "cross-pollination" of IT security ideas between government and corporate CISOs, the congressional committee is hoping, among other things, that the group will greatly improve the government's Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) report card. "The objective is not to use the report card to beat CISOs with, but rather to calibrate performance, and there are a lot of stakeholders in this," said Steve O'Keefe, one Reform Committee spokesperson.
