CISA’s Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) program is being pushed to move faster by expanding automation, improving unification, and strengthening data-driven risk management across federal agencies. Officials also said CDM’s evolution has been shaped by the SolarWinds breach, which exposed the need for a common operating picture and better government-wide visibility. #CISA #ContinuousDiagnosticsAndMitigation #SolarWinds
