CDM IPv6 compliance plans due July 6: Why the technology matters
Summary
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Administration (CISA) announced recently that the common requirements for the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) Program had been updated to align with the extended compliance schedule published in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Memorandum 21-07 (M-21-07) – PDF. This is an important policy move for acquiring information technology (IT) products and services contained in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 11.002. CISA intends to perform periodic progress checks on accepted plans. • Most important for remote work forces is native support for mobile devices to switch between networks and receive roaming notices at any physical location. More information on IPv6 and federal cybersecurity policies and programs can be found at this GSA website.
