Cybersecurity Risk Management Framework Services for Government Facilities

This white paper outlines the cybersecurity risk management framework services provided by Peraton Labs for U.S. government facilities. It details the increasing importance of securing not only information technology networks but also cyber-physical systems and building automation technologies that are integral to government operations. The document explains the challenges posed by legacy infrastructures that do not meet current cybersecurity standards and the need for comprehensive risk management strategies that encompass all electronic systems. Peraton Labs specializes in the validation, engineering, assessment, and authorization of both classified and unclassified systems in accordance with the NIST Risk Management Framework and FISMA. The paper describes the specific skills required for securing industrial control systems and the processes involved in achieving Authorization to Operate (ATO). It also discusses the importance of collaboration with stakeholders during facility upgrades to ensure cybersecurity measures are integrated into the design and implementation phases, thereby minimizing risks and costs associated with cyber threats.
