ST. PAUL, Minn. - (Business Wire) Shavlik Technologies, the market leader in delivering software solutions that rapidly accelerate and continuously improve security and compliance readiness, today announced that the company
’s federal security products have received additional validations for SCAP capabilities, including one for Federal Desktop Core Configuration (FDCC) Scanner.
Shavlik’s Security Suite Government Edition is one of the few comprehensive security solutions available that has been SCAP (Security Content Automation Protocol) validated by NIST. Shavlik’s federal security products address the Office of Management and Budget's mandate that requires federal agencies to adopt standard configurations for their Windows-based computers, which has driven the creation of the FDCC.
The SCAP standard is a federally-mandated initiative for standards-based security automation. The Shavlik Security Suite provides a simplified and streamlined path to compliance for government and federal agency IT organizations faced with multiple security and compliance mandates.
“We are pleased with the testing and validation process established between the labs and NIST, and the rapid progress of the SCAP validations for our federal security solutions. Shavlik Technologies will continue to support future SCAP validations as they come available,” said Chris Schwartzbauer, VP, Worldwide Field Operations. “Shavlik’s solutions have always focused on simplifying security. SCAP aligns well with the Shavlik philosophy by enabling products like ours to interoperate with other technologies and information sources to simplify an organization’s process and reduce the costs required to achieve its security and compliance goals.”
The Shavlik Security Suite Government Edition can be deployed in a matter of hours. It provides almost immediate reporting on an agency’s current FDCC compliance status without the typical integration requirements of other, more complicated products. In addition, the Shavlik solution helps an agency achieve FDCC compliance by identifying non-compliant systems and automatically remediating errant systems back to compliancy.
Shavlik’s Security Suite drives a higher state of security and compliance readiness through the continuous identification and remediation of system security gaps, and deliver on-going security management that evolves and grows as customers’ needs grow.
