🤔 True or False: continuous Authority to Operate (#cATO) authorizes the people and/or process? ❌ FALSE: 📑 The Federal Information Security Modernization Act (#FISMA) mandates the authorization of systems, prioritizing system security. However, ensuring secure and authorized outputs in a trustworthy and transparent environment requires inputs of the right people, processes/policies, and technologies. 🌟 While inputs are essential for consideration, they are not central to authorization. They are critical, however, for providing local context in decision-making around the design and implementation of your tailored approach to cATO. Successfully achieving ongoing authorization requires an understanding of your starting point 🧭 Are you ready to start a journey toward the #ContinuousDelivery of mission-critical software?
