Here's How the White House Wants to Reform Cybersecurity Management for Agencies
(Federal News Network) The White House wants to change how it manages agency cybersecurity efforts by shifting away from self attestation and compliance approaches to more continuous monitoring of networks and outcome-focused measurements, according to the federal chief information security officer (CISO).
The Office of Management and Budget is ensuring agencies are providing the data called for in May’s cybersecurity executive order with some “strict governance,” according to Chris DeRusha, the federal CISO at OMB.
“We’re measuring and dashboarding the data call layer first, the practical things — are people doing what we asked them to do on the timelines we’ve asked them to do it,” DeRusha said during a July 28 event hosted by Oracle.
