AFCEA Bethesda's Monthly Breakfast

The growing number of cyber attacks on Federal government networks are increasing in sophistication, becoming more aggressive, more dynamic and agencies are quickly looking to implement continuous monitoring methods, diagnosis and mitigation tools. Agencies are moving forward quickly in part due to an Office of Management and Budget (OMB) memo calling agencies to develop a security control continuous monitoring strategy by the end of February 2014 in cooperation with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The first task order off of the DHS Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) contract vehicle – managed by the General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Systems Integration and Management Center (FEDSIM) – was awarded in January.

Join AFCEA Bethesda on March 7, 2014, for “Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation 2014 Outlook,” a breakfast panel with top federal IT and security leaders on the state of the CDM program and how agencies are using their own funding to implement the software and services for specific applications or systems.
