The University of Murcia in Spain explored the integration of the Open Security Controls Assessment Language (OSCAL) framework with agile recertification tools and systems like DOSS (Dynamic Online Security Suite) and COBALT (Cybersecurity Operations and Benefits Assessment Lifecycle Tool). Participants were introduced to how OSCAL facilitates the management of the cybersecurity lifecycle by streamlining vulnerability tracking, threat identification, and mitigation processes. This workshop also covered the creation and management of Bill of Materials (BOM) such as Hardware Bill of Materials (HBOM) and Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), critical for ensuring supply chain security and compliance with cybersecurity regulations. By leveraging OSCAL alongside these tools, the workshop demonstrated how organizations can improve their security posture, automate the continuous monitoring of vulnerabilities, and ensure alignment with evolving security objectives and standards.
