The U.S. Army is beginning to implement practices related to continuous authorization to operate (cATO), concepts the service hopes will offer constant evaluation and analysis of risks related to cybersecurity. Leonel Garciga, the chief information officer for the U.S. Department of the Army, addressed this topic while speaking at TechNet Augusta 2024, held August 19-22, in Augusta, Georgia.
Officials with the Program Executive Office (PEO) Soldier are applying cATOs to Nett Warrior, a system that provides leaders with situational awareness that allows for faster and more accurate decisions in the tactical fight, according to PEO Soldier.
