3. 2  GOAL: Mission Support  PROGRAM: Information Technology Services  CAPABILITY: IT Security  REQUIREMENT: Centralized Certification & Accreditation (C&A) Services  DESCRIPTION OF ADJUSTMENT: Implement centralized C&A team to ensure consistency in the review of C&A packages, complete certification, and provide controls testing for each system prior to submission to Commerce  PERFORMANCE MEASURES: IT Security Incidents Centralized Certification & Accreditation (C&A) Services Above Core PROGRAM ADJUSTMENT FUNDING BENEFITS AND RISKS ACTIVITIES, SCHEDULE & MILESTONES  Standardize C&A process throughout NOAA Oct 2007  Capability of providing a suite of C&A services Oct 2007  Automate C&A processOct 2008  Provide C&A dashboard capabilityMar 2009  If program adjustment is made:  Compliance with Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) and Commerce IT Security Policy  Maintain 100% of NOAA IT systems that have a current C&A  If program adjustment is not made:  ‘Out of compliance’ with July 12, 2006 OMB memo M-06-19 from Karen Evans (Ofc of E-Gov & IT) that requires agencies to meet existing security requirements (e.g., correct security weaknesses in stead-state investments) before new funds are spent on system development, modernization, or enhancement  Restrict public access to hazardous weather warnings and hurricane tracking information during peak demand periods when capability of enterprise security systems is exceeded  Retain IT Security material weakness (DOC OIG)  Delay implementation of IT Security Architecture by 2 to 3 years

4. 3  GOAL: Mission Support  PROGRAM: Information Technology Services  CAPABILITY: Enterprise Network Operations  REQUIREMENT: Elimination of Single Points of Failure in Silver Spring Metro Center (SSMC) Network Infrastructure and Public Web Services (PWS)  DESCRIPTION OF ADJUSTMENT: Implement fully-redundant SSMC network backbone with built-in failover, and mirrored web clusters at 7 U.S. locations  PERFORMANCE MEASURES: Network and Application Services Availability Elimination of Single Points of Failure (SSMC Network Infrastructure & Public Web Services) Above Core PROGRAM ADJUSTMENT FUNDING BENEFITS AND RISKS ACTIVITIES, SCHEDULE & MILESTONES  Complete implementation of a 10 Gigabit Ethernet SSMC backbone & 10 Gigabit Ethernet Wash DC metropolitan area network (MAN) 2011  Complete hardening of the SSMC backbone in order to produce a 99.99% uptime network2013  If program adjustment is not made:  NOAA data products (provided via SSMC and/or other locations) will become unavailable during a power failure or when construction/utility equipment (e.g., backhoe) severs the SSMC internet connection. For example, Hurricane X’s tracking data would not be available to the public during the time of need.  Customers and the general public will become displeased with the data unavailability, which in turn becomes front-page, above-the-fold news in the Washington Post for weeks. Can NOAA afford the bad press and management of the resulting triage?  Lack of or reduced Internet service will impact NOAA’s ability to deliver its data products to all customers and the general public. This includes, but is not limited to, Life and Property data made available to the public via the Internet. Reduction of key services will impact NOAA’s ability to deliver data products resulting in the inability for programs to meet their GPRA or corporate performance targets.  IT security risks will increase on all NOAA systems, including networks.  Dependency: Public Web Services within the Weather & Water Goal (via the Web Consolidation Initiative in NWS)

5. 4  GOAL: Mission Support  PROGRAM: Information Technology Services  CAPABILITY: Enterprise Network Operations  REQUIREMENT: Elimination of Single Points of Failure in Electronic Mail Services (including migration to Commerce-wide common email system)  DESCRIPTION OF ADJUSTMENT: Implement common email infrastructure that includes redundancy with built-in failover  PERFORMANCE MEASURES: Network and Application Services Availability Elimination of Single Points of Failure (Electronic Mail Services) Above Core PROGRAM ADJUSTMENT FUNDING BENEFITS AND RISKS ACTIVITIES, SCHEDULE & MILESTONES  Complete phase 2 of the consolidated electronic mail system, including complete redundancy and replication of data for all users 2010  If program adjustment is not made:  NOAA messaging operations (a primary communication mechanism throughout the enterprise) will become unavailable during a power failure or when construction/utility equipment (e.g., backhoe) disrupts the email service connection.  Reduce the plans for email system redundancy and provide replication of email only for priority users.  DOC will continue to lack a common electronic mail system across all its agencies/bureaus.  Dependencies:  Migration planning has been underway since January 2006, when DOC alerted NOAA to begin projecting costs for the transition to a Commerce-wide common email system.  DOC has not provided clear FY09 Budget guidance with respect to the migration to a Commerce-wide common email system.  NOAA currently operates and maintains a distributed email system with multiple single points of failure, and utilizes the Thunderbird email application for more than 19,000 users, but will need funding to support Commerce’s move to a common platform without single points of failure.  On 9/21/06, as part of its Electronic Mail Study, DOC initiated a mandatory data call on e-mail costs for all bureaus; purpose: to obtain costs of email at each Operating Unit; use of data: analysis to support the business case. NOAA submitted data on 9/26/06.
