CDM

CISA and GSA identity management leaders unpack new playbook.

CISA's Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation program helps federal agencies strengthen their security postures and also optimize data management for targeted IT modernization efforts and improved service delivery.

CISA’s CDM lead wants agencies to harness data and application security within their cybersecurity strategies.

CISA encourages federal agencies to adopt a zero trust approach to cybersecurity to prevent cyberattacks.

An executive order calls on agencies to implement CDM among other cybersecurity measures like zero trust.

CISA is creating a cohesive cybersecurity approach for federal agencies.

Continuous monitoring of assets on a cloud server amplify security and privacy.

Good data and good relationships with cloud service providers can ensure maximum use of CDM dashboards.

The dashboards are only as good as the data quality and input.

Using more automation can help federal agencies improve quality of data.

Agencies find opportunity in increasing diversity within cyber programs and leveraging shared services.

Implementing continuous diagnostics and mitigation requires a holistic approach to integration.
