Turk and Mark Kneidinger, director of Federal Network Resilience (FNR) Division for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) both said at MeriTalk’s Cyber Security Brainstorm that there is no silver bullet to a predictive cyber posture. They said that most Federal agencies are drafted to be defensive and reactive rather than offensive and predictive.

One solution to assessing risks and predicting attacks is DHS’s Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) program, according to Tim McBride, Director of Operations of the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). CDM, which Kneidinger described as a part of the silver bullet, offers tools for Federal agencies to identify cybersecurity risks on a continuous basis.
