CERT has begun releasing the individual process areas of the CERT Resiliency Management Model, a capability model for operational resiliency management.

Since 2001, CERT has been working in the areas of security process improvement and operational resiliency management and engineering. Beginning with the introduction of the OCTAVE Method, CERT has been researching and developing tools, techniques, and methods that help organizations manage operational risk and improve operational resiliency. This work has resulted in the CERT Resiliency Management Model, a capability model for operational resiliency management. It has two primary objectives:

* Establish the convergence of operational risk and resiliency management activities such as security, business continuity, and aspects of IT operations management into a single model.

* Apply a process improvement approach to operational resiliency management through the definition and application of a capability level scale that expresses increasing levels of process improvement.
