One topic that unites industry partners and the United States Department of Defense - shared frustration with the #ATO process 🤯. Industry partners are trying to deploy the best software to the DoD quickly. Meanwhile, the DoD is waiting for up-to-date solutions to effectively execute the mission. But, there's hope! Here are some recent updates you should know about as the ATO discussion continues: ✨ Office of the DoD Chief Information Officer released the Resolving Risk Management Framework and Cybersecurity Reciprocity Issues memo. ✨ Defense Information Systems Agency has recently updated numerous Security Technical Implementation Guides and Security Requirements Guides to ensure they align with the latest standards set forth in the fifth revision of the NIST Special Publication 800-53. ✨ Defense Unicorns launched a workshop to address the DoD's various struggles related to software delivery, including the ATO and cATO processes. #Cybersecurity #Defense
Come bring your application to DoD Platform One where we have a cATO and can get you a Certificate to field in 26 days once your application has been integrated into our pipelines and processes. This satisfies the need to get your application approved and operational and leaves the hard work and paperwork to us! #MissionObsessedAF
The process is frustrating at best. If possible to participate in the workshop I’d be a happy participant. There has to be a better way that what’s being done today.
It’s also been that long since revision 5 came out too…

Best ATO memes in the game.
It's funny but it's not. Haha

3moThis is literally what lost me my last job. The software I was hired to consult on was in limbo, is still in limbo. So they decided to end my contract and find someone else when the ATO process is finally complete.
