Sensors in agency networks give administrators and CISOs visibility into what devices are on the network and how users are acting. Then, that information is standardized and fed into agency dashboards. DHS is working with agencies to produce reports based on those dashboards that let agencies know what their vulnerabilities are and how they can be patched.
DHS is also standing up a federal dashboard, which will collect the feeds from all of the agency dashboards to give a governmentwide view of threats. Kevin Cox, program manager for CDM at DHS, told FedTech in October that the federal dashboard would be fully deployed in February. Manfra confirmed last week that all 24 CFO Act agencies would be plugged into the federal dashboard by the end of February, Nextgov reports.
