Continuous monitoring and cyber security for high performance computing
Alex Malin, Graham Van Heule · 2013
Continuous monitoring represents a potentially significant paradigm shift for cyber security as practiced throughout the US Federal Government. With continuous monitoring, rather than test a system once every three years during certification and accreditation, the security controls that are most vital and most volatile in a computer system are tested continuously to assure a high level of system security. A key goal is to provide near-real time security status-related information to organizational officials so they may take appropriate risk mitigation actions and make cost-effective, risk-based decisions regarding the operation of the information systems.
