Acuative, in partnership with Fortinet, yesterday announced the general availability of a FISMA compliant managed network service solution for Federal Agencies using Fortinet Federal certified technology, including FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer, and FortiGate components. The Acuative FISMA compliant solution expansion now provides a comprehensive range of Fortinet-based managed services that meet federal security requirements. FISMA (Federal Information Security Management Act) is U.S. government legislation that defines a comprehensive framework to protect government information, operations, and assets against threats.
Acuative achieves FISMA compliance for Managed Network Services using Fortinet Federal certified technology.
The Acuative FISMA compliant solution has been audited on an annual basis since 2020 by an accredited third party to comply with FISMA requirements [via NIST SP 800-53]. This provides an InfoSec-hardened management service infrastructure (people/process/tools) for Federal Agency clients as they shift to GSA's EIS (Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions) contract, which has been put into place to facilitate digital transformation over the next few years. Since its inception, Fortinet Federal has met government customer demands for advanced network and data security with products designed to protect systems, devices, and applications worldwide.
