1.0 Background

The United States Food and Drug Administration is responsible for protecting and promoting public health through the regulation and supervision of food safety, tobacco products, dietary supplements, prescription and over-the-counter pharmaceutical drugs (medications), vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, blood transfusions, medical devices, electromagnetic radiation emitting devices, and veterinary products. The FDA’s primary mission is to protect and promote the public health of U.S. consumers and individuals around the world.

FDA’s scientific and regulatory health mission is facing increased internal and cyber threats to FDA information and IT infrastructure. These new and sophisticated threats call for a more dynamic information security program.
