ICIT On-Demand - DevSecOps Public Sector Accelerated ATO Initiative

Updated: Feb 12, 2023

2nd in the Series of DevSecOps Accelerated ATO

As Agencies develop more online services and systems to meet the mission of the Government, their appetite and need to develop and deploy applications rapidly continues to grow. Many Agencies are embracing DevSecOps and cloud services as a way to release these applications quickly; however, the need to meet compliance standards (i.e. RMF, STIG, FISMA, HIPAA, etc.) to obtain their Authority to Operate (ATO) can slow down the process, or lead to exhaustive POAMs.

At the October 29, 2020 briefing, a panel of experts from the Industry to discussed how Government agencies take advantage of rapid development/deployment techniques, such as DevSecOps, while meeting their ATO and security requirements in the same timely fashion. These distinguished panelists highlighted real world examples of how this is being achieved in Govt today, while addressing live from the audience.
