The concept and practice of Continuous Monitoring has blossomed into the keystone of federal information security programs. Continuous monitoring covers management, operational, and technical aspects of an information system program providing a comprehensive and holistic means to effectively manage these programs. Many security programs face challenges implementing and managing an effective information security program.
The 3-day IT Security Automation Conference Continuous Monitoring track will offer a wide-range of topics over three days of sessions that delve into the many facets of continuous monitoring. Information security programs across the federal government continue to struggle to successfully implement continuous monitoring, and this track will offer management techniques and strategies, policies and procedures, automated technical solutions, and provide various means to implement continuous monitoring with checks and balances. This track will give you tools, lessons, and strategies to improve your continuous monitoring program.
The 8th Annual IT Security Automation Conference is the premier meeting of government and industry leaders shaping the future of security automation and continuous monitoring. ITSAC focuses on the breadth and depth of automation principles and technologies designed to support information technology (IT) security automation requirements across organizations in multiple sectors. This program also provides a special focus on tools that are compliant with security automation standards.
This 3-day event includes tutorials, conference proceedings, workshops, opportunities to network and exchange ideas with your peers in the federal government and private industry sectors, and an exhibit hall that will offer a chance for the vendors of SCAP compliant tools to demonstrate how their technology meets the standards for developers, integrators and end-users.
The conference will provide public and private sector executives, security managers and staff, Information Technology (IT) professionals, and developers of products and services with a common understanding for using specific open standards and new security technologies across various domains of interest including:
- Enabling interoperability across tools
- Automation of risk mitigation measures
