Continuous Monitoring: Tools and Techniques for Trustworthy Government IT

Presented by FedInsider, WTOP, and Federal News Radio, this this complimentary one-hour video training webinar will explore how agencies tackling the threats and vulnerabilities inherent in today’s technology dependent government. Continuous monitoring provides nearly real-time information in the face of cyber attacks and is essential for senior leaders making ongoing risk-based decisions that affect critical mission and business functions. OMB mandates and NIST guidelines require agencies to establish oversight mechanisms to evaluate systematically and ensure the continuing security, interoperability, and availability of systems and agency data. 

Francis Rose, anchor on In Depth with Francis Rose on Federal News Radio 1500 AM, will moderate an interactive discussion among a group of government and industry leaders about the current state of risk management and how agencies are using continuous monitoring to maintain situational awareness of information security and organizational risk. You'll hear from leaders in government and industry as they discuss:

• NIST guidelines on information security continuous monitoring as a component of risk management
• Threat and attack trends affecting the need for greater information assurance
• A how-to for compliance with federal legislation, directives, regulations and standards using continuous monitoring
• Steps agencies are taking to address threats and vulnerabilities using metrics and data-driven risk management
• Tools in use across government to support risk response decisions, security status information, and ongoing insight into security control effectiveness
