Insights from CORA-Based Evaluations of Federal Cyber Posture
By
Dustin Siever, DCSA Special Agent, Cyber Team Lead

Event: The Speaker will leverage his leadership of DCSA’s CORA teams to deliver an insightful snapshot of federal network cybersecurity. He’ll explain how CORA shifts from compliance to operational resilience, evaluating architectures, controls, and risk using threat-informed metrics and standards like NIST SP 800‑53. Attendees will learn practical findings—common vulnerabilities, best practices—and see how tools like scanners and intrusion detection systems bolster network posture. He’ll also touch on interagency defense efforts such as the EINSTEIN program, which enhances situational awareness across federal civilian networks. The session will conclude with actionable recommendations for agencies and cleared contractors to strengthen secure, resilient, and compliant government networks.

Speaker: Mr. Dustin Sievers
