CyberScope

Overview
Launched by the federal Office of Management and Budget in 2011, Cyberscope is a security reporting tool. OMB mandated that agencies use Cyberscope for submitting their information security data to OMB. Cyberscope has the capability to receive data feeds on a recurring basis to assess the security posture of a federal agency’s information infrastructure. According to OMB, this tool will allow agencies to report security data on a more frequent basis. Beginning in 2011, agencies are required to report data on a monthly basis, rather than the previous quarterly basis.
