CDM: Growing and Changing in Cybersecurity

The DHS and GSA created the CDM Program in 2012 with the vision that all federal networks would be continuously scanned to identify and respond to threats and breaches. However, most federal agencies remain at risk, and cannot detect when large amounts of information leave their networks.

Register today to attend the Big Issues: CDM Conference on November 28th in Washington, DC. Hear cyber experts from across government as they take a deep-dive into CDM and discuss the evolution of the program and changes underway to improve implementation and effectiveness.

Topics to be discussed include:

* The rollout of Phase 3, which moves oversight from "what" and "who" is on the network to what is happening on the network

* The move into Phases 3 and 4, while maintaining Phases 1 and 2

* The new GSA contracting vehicle, CDM DEFEND, which gives agencies more flexibility in implementation, and the new Special Item Number for CDM tools

* Best practices and ongoing challenges with Phases 1 and 2, and as well as preparations for Phase 3 and beyond
