<![CDATA[FBI's CJIS v6.1: What Security Teams Need to Know.]]>The FBI has released CJIS Security Policy v6.1, tightening requirements around encryption and vulnerability scanning while continuing the shift toward more continuous security assessment. According to Specops, the update also touches on password, MFA, and identity requirements that agencies will need to address ahead of upcoming audits.

Key areas of focus in v6.1 include:

Stronger encryption requirements for protecting criminal justice information
Updated vulnerability scanning obligations
Continued movement toward continuous security assessment rather than point-in-time checks
Revised password, MFA, and identity requirements that agencies must meet before audits

Security teams supporting criminal justice agencies should review their current controls against these updated requirements and prepare for the audit implications of the continuous assessment model.
