Leveraging Continuous Monitoring to Gain Greater Situational Awareness

An i360Gov Special Report.

For the federal government to achieve a stronger cyber security posture, agencies must focus on automation, interoperability and authentication, according to officials from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

The current federal focus on continuous monitoring will help agencies achieve the level of automation required to dramatically improve their ability to assess and respond to risks. But DHS, NIST and other observers say standards are still needed to increase interoperability, and authentication guidance is also required to protect user identities in cyberspace.
