Part 2
Exploring the continuous ATO playbook
As part of the cATO manifesto, we outline key principles of security, privacy, and compliance. To advance cybersecurity within resource constraints, Bryon advocates drawing smaller authorization boundaries for speed and agility, establishing authorization boundaries at the API level, and switching from initial authorization to ongoing authorization. Additionally, we discuss how developing trust with assessors can streamline the process.
Part 3
Integrating cATO into Government DevSecOps
We shift our focus to practical advice on integrating cATO into DevSecOps. Provide actionable steps, including forming cross-functional teams, utilizing Just in Time Training, linking authorization packages to infrastructure as code, and setting up a secure release pipeline. Ultimately, we underline the “WHY” and remind everyone that real humans at the end of this process depend on us to secure the software.
