Tenable Delivers Cybersecurity for U.S. Department of Defense

Tenable® Delivers Cybersecurity for U.S. Department of Defense

The Defense Information Systems Agency’s (DISA) selection of Tenable as the foundation of its Assured Compliance Assessment Solution (ACAS) cements Tenable’s standing as the undisputed leader in vulnerability management in the U.S. Federal government. The ACAS mission is simple: Assess DoD enterprise networks and connected IT systems against DoD standards, as well as identify any known system vulnerabilities.

Achieve and Exceed DOD Compliance

Over the past few years, the sophistication and frequency of cyberattacks has increased exponentially. In parallel, the evolution of the IT landscape has exploded to include much more than physical and virtual machines, and the landscape continues to transform. As more assets, systems, devices and users come online, more complexity, uncertainty and reactive security are sure to follow. Poor visibility into the IT environment, data overload and a lack of effective communications put your missions at risk.

With the Tenable solution, DoD operations can fulfill DISA’s ACAS program operational and strategic objectives through:

• Fast and accurate enterprise-wide network security assessment; satisfying the goal of increasing the accuracy of risk assessment and standards compliance verification.
• A highly scalable solution easy to deploy at all levels; from the Central Command to the warfighter on the front lines.
• Real-time risk assessment across DoD networks to provide essential situational awareness, and enable true, risk-based management decisions consistent with existing and emerging federal guidelines.
• Complete Vision: The most comprehensive view of deployed assets and potential weaknesses in the IT environment
• Situational Awareness: Contextual insight and actionable intelligence so you can prioritize targets and destroy threats
• Fast Communications: Share customized reports, statuses, assessments and discoveries easily and quickly
• Risk Measurement: Measure risk against mission objectives with powerful reporting for total operational excellence
• Continuous Compliance: Know the network you’re responsible for, achieve DoD compliance and then exceed it.

With ACAS and Tenable, you can meet DoD compliance while also participating the Cyber Exposure revolution. As the network and threats to it grow, Tenable solutions grow in parallel, enabling you to anticipate, prioritize and neutralize threats across any infrastructure, any device and at any time – helping you know and respond to your Cyber Exposure. It's that powerful.
