Abstract:
Why are we still using 900-page PDFs to defend cloud-scale infrastructure? It’s time to treat security documentation like the code it governs.
This session is a deep dive into the OSCAL ecosystem — where policy becomes data, assessments become pipelines, and compliance becomes continuous. We’ll show you how to build System Security Plans dynamically from the top down, replace manual evidence collection with automated, machine-readable attestations, and close the loop with real-time monitoring that detects configuration drift and validates resilience in minutes, not months.
If you’re done with point-in-time audits and ready to engineer digital immunity into your systems from day one, this session is for you.
