"Security and compliance practitioners view continuous compliance as the ultimate goal of cyber risk management," said John B. Wood, chairman and CEO of Telos. "While accelerating the ability to reach a point-in-time Authorization to Operate (ATO) is critical, Xacta.io's new technology stack and data connector framework make significant progress toward maintaining a rolling ATO with continuous compliance." Deployable in the AWS cloud and on premises, the Xacta.io platform will be released in the first quarter of 2019, with additional services added ove time.
