Getting an ATO is Step 1. Keeping it is the rest of your life. This course focuses on Step 6 (Monitor) of the RMF lifecycle, helping you transition from "Snapshot Compliance" (checking boxes every 3 years) to "Continuous Compliance" (real-time risk awareness).

The Old Way

• Manual spreadsheet tracking
• "Panic Mode" before inspections
• ATO renewed every 3 years

The New Way

• Automated dashboard feeds
• Real-time risk scoring
• Ongoing Authorization (No expiration)

Who Should Attend?

Operations ISSOs

Security officers managing systems that are already authorized (Post-ATO).

SysAdmins

Technical staff responsible for patching and vulnerability scanning (ACAS).

Risk Managers

Leadership needing to define the organization's monitoring strategy.

Course Agenda

Strategy & Policy (NIST 800-137)

Defining the ISCM Strategy. Determining "monitoring frequencies" for different controls (e.g., checking logs daily vs. checking policies annually). Establishing triggers for re-authorization.

Tactics & Automation

Building the dashboard. Using tools like Splunk, ACAS, and SCAP to feed data into the decision-making process. Managing the Patch Management and Change Control Board (CCB) cycles effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this course cover ACAS/Nessus in depth?

We cover the management of ACAS results (how to interpret reports, risk score impact), but this is not a technical operator course for configuring Nessus scanners.

Can this help me move to Ongoing Authorization?

Yes. Moving to OA requires a mature monitoring strategy. This course provides the blueprint you need to present to your Authorizing Official to request entry into an OA program.
