Achieving Continuous ATO (cATO) requires pivoting from a time-intensive compliance checklist mindset to continuous cyber-readiness. The Marine Corps’ Operation Stormbreaker did exactly that—leveraging the Navy’s RAISE 2.0 framework to embrace a "shift left" philosophy and collapse a traditional 18-month deployment cycle down to just 15 minutes.

In this mission-focused architectural case study, experts from Stormbreaker, Raven Solutions, and Anchore will detail the DevSecOps architecture behind this acceleration and how to build a cATO platform.

Attendees will discover how to transform rigid regulatory mandates into predictable software delivery, providing federal program managers and industry partners with a secure blueprint to rapidly field mission capabilities. The panel will break down:

• Shifting cATO boundaries: How moving authorization to the platform layer allows secure workloads to traverse multi-environment ecosystems without redundant accreditation cycles.
• Operationalizing Zero Trust: Securing the software supply chain through automated container hardening, continuous production inventory monitoring and comprehensive SBOM generation.
• Automating DoD Mandates: Meeting the strict requirements of the DISA Container Hardening Process Guide via an enforced policy-as-code strategy that integrates critical security gates directly into the CI/CD pipeline.
