Improving Cybersecurity and Resilience through CDM

The Challenge:

Our nation's security and economic prosperity depend on ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of Federal information and information systems.

The requirement to manage information security risk on a continuous basis includes the requirement to monitor the security controls in Federal information systems and the environments in which those systems operate on an ongoing basis using continuous diagnostic monitoring. This allows agencies to maintain ongoing awareness of information security, vulnerabilities, and threats to support organizational risk management decisions.
