Accelerated CDM Program Approval Allows
Government Agencies to Purchase Leading Continuous Security
Validation Solutions
AttackIQⓇ, the leading independent
vendor in the breach and attack simulation market, in conjunction
with their GSA Schedule partner, RockITek, today announced their
platform has been added to the Approved Products List (APL) to
deliver relevant cybersecurity capabilities in support of the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Continuous Diagnostics and
Mitigation (CDM) program. AttackIQ assures federal agencies are in
the best position possible to defend against actual security
threats by continuously testing security controls, processes and
people with their automated validation platform.
The DHS Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s CDM
program is leading the effort to reduce cyber risk and provide
visibility across the federal government. The CDM program is
delivering automated tools to federal agencies to strengthen their
ability to identify and mitigate cybersecurity risks on an ongoing
basis, prioritize these risks based on potential impacts, and
quickly enable cybersecurity personnel to focus on the most
significant problems first. The program provides cybersecurity
tools, integration services, and dashboards to participating
agencies to support them in improving their respective security
posture.
“Through the CDM Program, federal agencies are receiving the
necessary tools to strengthen their ability to monitor and manage
cyber threats. AttackIQ provides a unique capability to
continuously validate that the deployed tools are effectively
stopping the attacks they were intended to,” said John Sobczak,
RockITek’s CEO. “We are very excited about making the AttackIQ
platform available on the CDM Program.”
AttackIQ provides federal agencies with an understanding of
their cyber-readiness through identification of their
vulnerabilities in response to common attack vectors. With
AttackIQ’s immediate, real-time insight into an existing
enterprise’s security posture, coupled with their automation of the
MITRE ATT&CK framework, security executives are enabled to
think systematically about the environment in which they must stand
up and operate their security programs.
“We are excited to be added to the CDM program’s APL. This is a
monumental step in enabling our federal government with the
valuable insights our platform can provide. On day one, federal
agencies will have immediate, accurate, comprehensive insight into
the effectiveness of their security programs,” said Stacey Meyer,
AttackIQ’s VP of Federal Operations. “They will be able to identify
blind spots, redundant systems and tools, as well as
vulnerabilities that need to be remediated. It is more important
now than ever that government organizations execute a threat
informed defense-based strategy. Our platform provides the means to
actualize threat informed defense by automating the measurement of
an organizations cyber readiness.”
AttackIQ provides enterprises of all sizes the ability to
automate the assessment of their cyber-readiness providing valuable
insight into the effectiveness of their security controls. Yielding
the federal government with the ability to make tactical and
strategic decisions to proactively position themselves for success
against the adversary. By providing knowledge of the highest
probability risk exposures and gaps in their cyber defenses,
AttackIQ empowers the federal government to make the best decisions
to minimize the cyber risks to their agency and our nation’s
security.
