CDM Designed to Help Federal Agencies Understand Risk Posture and Become Digitally Resilient

Government Technology Insider | October 24, 2018

The goal of the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) Program is for all civilian agencies included in the program under the Chief Financial Officers’ (CFO) Act to feed data to the federal government-wide cybersecurity threat dashboard. With each individual agency’s information compiled, the dashboard consolidates threat information from individual agency feeds to give an overall understanding of the cyber risks facing civilian agencies and enables them to prioritize the most critical issues.
