Ask ACAS: A New Learning and Support Resource

The next phase of IT security is here, and it starts with ACAS. ACAS—Assured Compliance Assessment Solution—is an integrated security solution that is scalable to an unlimited number of locations. In 2012, the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) established ACAS to efficiently and effectively assess the Department of Defense’s (DoD) enterprise networks and satisfy FISMA’s information security requirements. Tenable and HP Enterprise Services have partnered to offer DISA the best integrated software solution and exceed the requirements for a modern, enterprise-class configuration assessment vulnerability management solution.
