Technica Continuous Monitoring and Risk Assessment Automation

This white paper presents Technica's proposal for the Continuous Monitoring and Risk Assessment Automation project, addressing the challenges faced by the Navy in securing its complex cyber landscape. The document outlines the need for a shift from a manual, labor-intensive Risk Management Framework (RMF) to an automated solution that leverages Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) technologies. It details how Technica aims to integrate these technologies to provide near real-time assessments of cybersecurity posture, thereby reducing operational risks associated with manual processes. The paper describes the project milestones, including deliverables such as technical plans and capability demonstrations, and emphasizes the importance of a proactive approach to cybersecurity that minimizes the attack surface. Furthermore, it highlights the key innovations in knowledge engineering, intelligent automation, machine learning, and AI reasoning that will enhance the Navy's ability to monitor and respond to cyber threats effectively. The proposed solution aims to streamline operations and improve compliance with security benchmarks, ultimately supporting the Navy's mission in a dynamic cyber environment.
