RES to Empower U.S. Federal Workers with More Agile Workspaces and Enhanced People-centric Security, Reducing Risks of Government Data Breaches
RES Software has been included in the implementation of Booz Allen
Hamilton's Task Order award to support the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security's Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) program,
providing Federal agencies with a digital workspace platform that is
tailored to each worker's needs while reducing the risks of future
security breaches. The award of this Task Order was completed in
conjunction with RES Software and several other vendors responsible for
improving network resiliency and Federal Information Security Management
Act (FISMA) compliance across the entire government.
"In today's Federal IT environment, government agencies are demanding a
digital workspace that better empowers their workers - who now have much
more agile and mobile workstyles - while reducing the risks of data
security breaches," said Gene Bonacci, General Manager and Vice
President of the Americas at RES. "With RES ONE Workspace the Federal
government has a better way to govern which technology services its
workers can and can't use, while minimizing the daily IT administration
of that environment through automation."
The Task Order award under Phase 1 of the CDM program provides support
for four functional areas: Hardware Asset Management, Software Asset
Management, Configuration Management and Vulnerability Management. The
single-award Task Order - made under the $6 billion General ervices
Administration's Continuous Monitoring as a Service (CMaaS) Blanket
Purchase Agreement (BPA) - provides tools, sensors and CMaaS integration
support services to 63 organizations within Federal departments and
agencies. These include: Department of Energy, Department of Interior,
Department of Transportation, Department of Agriculture, Department of
Veterans Affairs and the Office of Personnel Management.
Today, government agencies face the growing challenge of creating a
secure and compliant digital workplace that still allows workers to be
empowered and productive. This is primarily being driven by the
introduction of new technologies, consumer devices used for work, and a
tech-savvy workforce. Managing IT in the same way organizations did just
five years ago is not effective in today's environment.
As users continue to accelerate the trend toward consumerization, CIOs
and CISOs must implement solutions that address the variety of devices,
apps and operating systems that make up the IT infrastructure, while
meeting the anytime, anywhere access capabilities imposed by today's
flexible work styles. This convergence of disruptive enterprise
technology and working trends presents IT with new challenges, often
leading to more time spent on manual processes and higher costs to meet
more demanding needs from users.
