Explore how continuous Authorization to Operate (cATO) became more than a technical milestone—it became a mission enabler.

This case study breaks down how VA:

• Reduced time-to-ATO by 84%—from 568 days to 87
• Cut critical vulnerability remediation time by 75%
• Reduced POA&M deficiencies per system by 97%
• Delivered faster, more accurate benefit claims for Veterans
• Fulfilled a Congressional mandate to speed up disability claim processing

You’ll see how Secure Release Pipelines, container scanning, runtime monitoring, and continuous risk assessment flipped the script on federal software delivery—backed by metrics, dashboards, and mission-first outcomes.
