Cybersecurity Assurance

Overview
The Federal Network Resilience (FNR) Cybersecurity Assurance (CA) branch employs a collaborative approach with the Federal Civilian Executive Branch, to measure, monitor, and validate cross-government initiatives and to assess cyber risks.

Mission
Cybersecurity Assurance assesses the state of operational readiness and cybersecurity risk of unclassified federal networks and systems. CA proactively engages with departments and agencies to improve their cybersecurity posture by assessing capabilities, identifying vulnerabilities, evaluating risks, and providing prioritized guidance that optimizes the remediation activities needed to close capability gaps, limit exposure, reduce exploitation, and increase the speed and effectiveness of cyber attack responses.

CA seeks to provide services which promote a healthy, secure and resilient IT infrastructure across the federal enterprise's computer networks and systems; measure the implementation of mandatory cybersecurity capabilities; and provide an enterprise view of the federal government's cybersecurity posture.
