Situational awareness for Federal networks
Federal agencies face difficult cyber security challenges, storing large amounts of confidential data, protecting critical infrastructures and being assailed by sophisticated threats from a broad range of adversaries. Government practitioners must also meet strict compliance requirements, including FISMA, DIACAP, STIGs, PPSM, CCRI, NERC-CIP, PCI DSS, HIPAA, etc.
Using your current manual processes to maintain a strong security posture & comply with these demanding standards is not effective or efficient and leaves you unable to keep up. The US Federal Government needs automation & efficiency. You don’t need to replace the billions of $$ in security tools that you’ve invested in, you just need to make better use of those tools & their output. This reality has led to the funding of the Department of Homeland Security Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) program. This $6 billion program focuses on automating the daily security processes to enhance cyber defenses to help agency and White House decision makers assess national cyber-attack readiness, implement effective responses & reduce our overall cyber-attack surface.
