Supporting U.S. Security and Intelligence
United States mission success depends on managing cyber risk across increasingly complex and interconnected environments.
As U.S. agencies adopt Zero Trust and align to NIST, CMMC, and FedRAMP, securing data and access across the broader mission ecosystem has become essential.
FedRAMP
Fortra is currently in the process of achieving FedRAMP authorization-to-operate (ATO) to demonstrate its commitment to meeting stringent federal security and compliance requirements.
Fortra Partners with Carahsoft
Fortra’s comprehensive cybersecurity portfolio is available to the public sector through Carahsoft’s reseller partners and GSA Schedule, NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V, Information Technology Enterprise Solutions – Software 2 (ITES-SW2) and OMNIA Partners contracts.
Reduce Exposure
Challenge: Nation-state adversaries and supply chain compromises are expanding the attack surface, giving APTs new pathways into trusted environments.
Solution: Fortra helps stop sophisticated threats at the point of entry, reducing exposure from compromised partners and strengthening defense against targeted attacks.
Automate Policy Enforcement
Challenge: As mission demands intensify and compliance requirements tighten, teams are asked to do more without added capacity.
Solution: Fortra reduces analyst burden by automating policy enforcement, minimizing false positives, and ensuring sensitive data is handled correctly.
Unify Data Protection
Challenge: Sensitive data crosses multiple domains and classification boundaries, often without consistent, enforceable controls.
Solution: Fortra delivers unified, policy-driven data protection that supports Zero Trust-aligned control, visibility, and enforcement across domains and classification boundaries.
Extend Existing Infrastructure
Challenge: Legacy systems often lack the encryption, governance, and interoperability needed to support secure intelligence sharing and modern mission requirements.
Solution: Fortra extends data security controls across existing infrastructure, helping legacy environments align with current encryption and compliance requirements while securely operating with newer platforms.
Case Study: Fortra Data Classification
Scenario
- DoW branch needed to support complex military markings
- Requirement to add support for CUI markings-initiated project to replace mixture of existing weaker commercial, and homegrown classification tools
Challenges
- Existing internal marking tool was difficult to use, leading to classification errors
- Lack of granularity within existing classification tools couldn’t support CUI marking requirements
Results
- Fortra Data Classification solution deployed to apply metadata and visual markings with required multi-layered schema to meet complex military and CUI marking requirements
- DoW branch was better positioned to support future classification requirements in emerging environments (e.g. cloud)
Case Study: Fortra Penetration Testing
Scenario
- US Government lab responsible for monitoring cyberattacks and other matters of national security
- Massive database of sensitive information needs to be protected from external attackers and malicious insiders
- Need to meet current regulatory requirements and prepare for future ones
Challenges
- Highly complex and dynamic IT footprint
- Vulnerability scanning generating high volumes of false positives
- Inefficient use of resources interpreting results and remediating risks
- Needed to demonstrate compliance to pass external audits
Results
- Fortra Core Impact increased efficiency by eliminating vulnerability scan false positives and prioritizing most critical exposures
- Vulnerability risk decreased, operational overhead reduced and security posture demonstrated to auditors
Case Study: Fortra Security Configuration Management
Scenario
- DISA recommend Commercial Off The Shelf software that meets STIG requirements
- They also provide scripts to harden Government/Defense systems to meet STIG requirements
- Needed tool to monitor systems to identify and prevent drift from the required STIG settings
Challenges
- Lack of visibility of drift from STIG requirements, leading to increased risk
- When drift was identified, significant operational overhead due to lack of understanding on how to remediate
- Providing STIG recommendations for applications was challenging and time consuming
Results
- Deployed Fortra Security Configuration Management
- Provided early visibility of drift from STIG requirements across Operating Systems and applications so remediation steps could be implemented in a timely fashion
- Reduced manual overhead required to identify and mitigate unknown risks
