• The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Joins a Growing Number of Federal Agencies Using Axonius to Solve Cybersecurity Asset Management Challenges (May 25, 2023)

  With executive orders mandating improved cybersecurity posture for federal agencies, Axonius gives CMS and others the asset visibility they need to comply

  WASHINGTON, D.C. — January 19, 2023 — Axonius Federal Systems LLC, the leader in cybersecurity asset management and SaaS management for federal agencies, today announced the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) selected Axonius to help it comply with new and existing cybersecurity regulations, guidelines, and mandates that require ongoing asset visibility. By adopting the cybersecurity asset management solution, CMS gains a comprehensive and always up-to-date asset inventory that makes it easier to understand security coverage and address any gaps.

  Federal agencies, including CMS, often spend significant resources collecting data to satisfy requirements like the CISA BOD 23-01 and the M-22-09 Federal Zero Trust Strategy. That means they need the tools to help them better control and even eliminate shadow and rogue IT in their enterprise. By using Axonius to gain a single source of truth into its asset inventory, CMS was able to understand coverage of its security controls and more quickly identify asset gaps that they previously did not have the visibility into.

  “We’ve seen an accelerated focus on strengthening our nation’s cybersecurity infrastructure, of which cybersecurity asset management plays a critical and foundational role,” said Tom Kennedy, Vice President of Federal, Axonius Federal Systems LLC. “Without visibility into what exists in your environment, it’s incredibly difficult to pinpoint where the majority of your security risk lies. For CMS, having that accurate and always up-to-date record of assets meant being able to get quick answers to any asset-related question.”

  Recent high-profile public and private sector cyber attacks continue to put pressure on the federal government to ensure it has the best possible defense. For CMS, Axonius provides a view into the full scope of assets in their environments so they can know any time a device, cloud instance, or user deviates from policy expectations – and quickly remediate any issues. That also includes identifying gaps in vulnerability scanning or finding missing agents.

  Since Q1 2022, Axonius has worked with CMS to create an automated process for accessing asset information and establishing a simpler, faster, and more effective way of getting enough context to secure their infrastructure. As a result, CMS is able to efficiently meet current and emerging security compliance requirements and solve any problems as quickly and securely as possible.

  Axonius gives federal agencies the ability to manage complexity and security risk as they work to untangle the increasing sprawl of devices, cloud services, software, and tools present in their environments.

• Axonius Federal Systems Approved for Use Within the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) after Completion of Two Successful Prototypes (May 25, 2023)

  Axonius Cybersecurity Asset Management receives success memo for its cybersecurity solution

  NEW YORK, New York — March 23, 2023 — Axonius Federal Systems LLC, the leader in cybersecurity asset management and SaaS management for federal agencies, today announced the successful completion of two projects for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD): a prototype with the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) followed by a production pilot with the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Emerging Technology (EM) Directorate for Cyber Asset Inventory Management (CAIM). The Axonius solution met the criteria for success identified in the DIU/DISA agreements, most notably for being able to increase the comprehensiveness, speed, and accuracy of cyber asset inventory management on DoD networks.
  
  An increasing amount of sensitive information is generated by an array of devices connecting to the DoD’s network, including Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices and cloud-connected solutions. As a result, cyber asset inventories are harder than ever to manage and trust, leading to a falling level of visibility.
  
  In fact, according to a 2021 study, conducted by the Enterprise Strategy Group on behalf of Axonius, 74% of Department of Defense (DoD) agencies reported visibility gaps in their end user devices. As part of a greater effort in accelerating and automating system patching across the DoDIN, DIU posted a solicitation in January 2020 seeking Solutions to solve its asset management challenge. In a competitive procurement that included proposals from over 20 vendors, the Axonius solution was selected to provide a comprehensive, always up-to-date asset inventory that also helps uncover security gaps and automatically enforce security policies.
  
  “Recent guidance around zero trust and asset management has brought to light the importance of having a comprehensive cyber asset inventory,” said Tom Kennedy, Vice President of Axonius Federal Systems. “Zero trust architecture relies on total visibility, something that is becoming harder to achieve thanks to accelerated technology adoption. Across 45 specific test cases, Axonius proved time and again that it was well equipped to meet the Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management needs of the DoD. In addition, the Axonius platform will enable improved Command Cyber Readiness Inspection (CCRI) preparedness and provide CCRI-like dashboarding that updates daily.” 
  
  In addition to being able to create a comprehensive asset inventory, the initial AoI from DIU and DISA EM requested a software solution capable of integrating into the existing network to reduce timelines for profiling assets on the network and prioritizing vulnerabilities to patch. Axonius Cybersecurity Asset Management is the only solution on the market that correlates asset data from existing solutions to continually surface coverage gaps, control validation, and support incident response investigations with pre-built and custom queries.        
  
  “We started the CAIM program in partnership with DIU because we wanted to get an inventory of all devices and systems,” said Steve Wallace, Chief Technology Officer of DISA and the Director of the Emerging Technology Directorate. “An integrated view into the details of each and every system on the DoD Information Networks (DoDIN) is a crucial starting point to accelerate the process of learning about a new vulnerability, determining which systems in the inventory are affected, applying the patch, and verifying systems are no longer vulnerable. We are really excited to start to deploy that.”
  
  As a result of the successful completion of the prototype and production pilot, Axonius has worked with the DoD to develop many items that will make adoption of this critical technology easier and more effective.  Those items, which were milestones of the agreements, include:

  • Implementing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Tactics, Technique, and Procedures (TTPs)
  • Best practices for using Axonius Cybersecurity Asset Management across DoD networks
    Creation of an ATO package for the Axonius solution  
  • The establishment of a volume-based, tiered discount structure that is available to any DoD entity

  The Axonius platform is available on several government-wide acquisition contracts, including NASA SEWP V contracts and the GSA IT schedule 70 contract.
