Cybersecurity leaders across government face intensifying demands to prove the effectiveness of their programs and not just in compliance terms - in measurable performance, mission alignment, and return on investment. As threats evolve and federal guidance advances - from NIST CSF 2.0 to EO 14028 and Zero Trust - executives must adopt new models of continuous oversight and strategic assurance. This session introduces Cybersecurity Performance Management (CPM) as a transformative framework that enables real-time visibility into cyber risk, maturity, and impact. CPM replaces legacy activity metrics with Cybersecurity Performance Indicators (CPIs) that support strategic decision-making, continuous authorization (cATO), and executive-level reporting. When integrated with containerized RMF automation tools and platforms , CPM empowers agencies to shift from static control validation to continuous, data-driven governance. Attendees gain a forward-looking model for aligning cybersecurity with mission, investment, and accountability, positioning cyber as a performance function critical to trust, transparency, and resilience. This is the future of cyber governance: where federal executives lead with data, justify investments with confidence, and drive resilience through performance, not paperwork.
