Program Overview
HHS’ enterprise-wide information security and privacy program was launched in fiscal year 2003, to help protect HHS against potential information technology (IT) threats and vulnerabilities. The Program ensures compliance with federal mandates and legislation, including the Federal Information Security Management Act and the President’s Management Agenda. The HHS Cybersecurity Program plays an important role in protecting HHS' ability to provide mission-critical operations. In addition, the HHS Cybersecurity Program is the cornerstone of the HHS IT Strategic Plan, and an enabler for e-government success.
