The Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation Program
This is a five-lesson course on Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation, a Department of Homeland Security program that provides government agencies automated cybersecurity capabilities to defend against today’s advanced threats.
In this course, we’ll explain how and why the CDM program was developed. We will dive into the three distinct phases of the program, and explain how they should be applied at your federal agency.
