-: In this section of the course 2 2
we're going to cover some associated topics. 3 3
They're going to help you implement 4 4
the risk management framework in your organization, 5 5
including how you can automate RMF, use web-based portals 6 6
like eMASS to submit and track your packages, 7 7
and how you can integrate RMF 8 8
and then this cybersecurity framework together 9 9
for additional efficiencies and effectiveness. 10 10
As we move through this section of the course 11 11
we're going to first look 12 12
at the methods that are used to automate RMF. 13 13
After all, the risk management framework can be a long 14 14
and drawn out process, so anytime we can gain efficiencies 15 15
and cut down on the time involved with a given step 16 16
this can help shorten our overall timeline. 17 17
When it comes to automation, there are many solutions 18 18
on the market to help you through the process 19 19
including commercial tools like Xacta 360, as well 20 20
as some government off the shelf software that was developed 21 21
by individual government agencies, such as the one built 22 22
by the US Navy, the Department of Interior, and many others. 23 23
Next, we're going to explore eMASS. 24 24
eMASS is the Enterprise Mission Assurance Support Service 25 25
and it's a government off the shelf software tool 26 26
that was created by the Department of Defense 27 27
to help organizations inventory their systems 28 28
and provide configuration management capabilities as well. 29 29
We're also going to be diving into an overview 30 30
of how eMASS works and some of the main risks 31 31
involved with using a system like eMASS 32 32
within your organization to automate 33 33
the risk management framework 34 34
and all of its associated processes. 35 35
Finally, we're going to discuss 36 36
how the risk management framework 37 37
and the cybersecurity framework are used in the real world. 38 38
The benefits and use cases of each one 39 39
and how they can be integrated together to provide you 40 40
with more efficiencies and effectiveness 41 41
than you could achieve by using 42 42
either one or the other of these frameworks by themself. 43 43
So with that said, let's jump into our coverage 44 44
of some associated topics that are important to understand 45 45
as you begin to implement the risk management framework 46 46
within your own organization in this section of the course.
