What’s next for CISA’s CDM program that gives cybersecurity tools to federal agencies
Brief
A Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency program that provides tools and capabilities to other agencies has to get speedier so it can push them toward being able to move more quickly themselves, an agency official said Tuesday.
“We have to get faster,” said Richard Grabowski, acting branch chief of service delivery and deputy program manager for the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation program at CISA. “The way that we collaborated today wasn’t fast enough for the threats of yesterday, and they certainly aren’t going to be fast enough for the threats of tomorrow.”
That means pushing responsible automation of tasks that also can do so at scale, he said, so that experts “can focus more [on] dealing with the novel threats and adoption and tuning of advanced technology, and not hitting alerts every other day.”
