The Department of Defense (DoD) has introduced the Cybersecurity Risk Management Construct (CSRMC), a new framework that replaces the legacy Risk Management Framework. CSRMC emphasizes automation, continuous monitoring, and real-time visibility, marking a significant shift away from static, checklist-driven processes.
