Continuous Diagnostics & Mitigation (CDM) Support

The contract requires the implementation and ongoing monitoring of Continuous Diagnostics & Mitigation (CDM) tools to identify security vulnerabilities, enforce configuration compliance, and enable real-time threat response across NIAMS networks. These tools must actively detect anomalies, ensure systems adhere to established security standards, and provide timely mitigation capabilities to reduce exposure to cyber threats. The work is scoped to support the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, a division of the Department of Health and Human Services, with performance centered in Bethesda, Maryland, under a subcontract arrangement classified under NAICS code 541512 for computer systems design services. Although specific timelines or deliverables are not detailed, the emphasis is on continuous, dynamic security operations to safeguard critical health research infrastructure.
