| Abstract | Continuous monitoring represents a potentially significant paradigm shift for cyber security as practiced throughout the US Federal Government. With continuous monitoring, rather than test a system once every three years during certification and accreditation, the security controls that are most vital and most volatile in a computer system are tested continuously to assure a high level of system security. A key goal is to provide near-real time security status-related information to organizational officials so they may take appropriate risk mitigation actions and make cost-effective, risk-based decisions regarding the operation of the information systems. Continuous monitoring implementation has initially focused on desktop computer systems. Designing a solution to continuously monitor servers will be considerably more complex and challenging. The challenge will be even greater for computers used for scientific instrumentation and experimentation. This paper describes the challenges of adapting and applying the new cyber paradigm of continuous monitoring for supercomputing. It describes research at Los Alamos National Laboratory intended to develop an approach to continuous monitoring appropriate for supercomputers. |
