AttackIQ secures Authority to Operate from US Army
This federal ATO gives cyber defenders the tools to bolster cybersecurity controls
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — AttackIQ has been granted a three-year Assess Only Authority to Operate (ATO) by the U.S. Army. Senior officials granted this approval to launch the company’s Security Optimization Platform within the military branch based on an in-depth, risk-based security assessment.
AttackIQ is the first breach and attack simulation (BAS) platform to receive this ATO designation. It will allow the U.S. Army to use AttackIQ’s Security Optimization Platform to develop a more strategic and proactive defense posture across its mission critical assets in support of warfighters around the globe. AttackIQ’s ATO was successfully granted a Moderate/Moderate/Low classification after a thorough, multiphase process that began in 2021 and included several levels of evaluations and rigorous security assessments. AttackIQ collaborated with KAIROS, a provider of sophisticated cybersecurity analysis and implementation provider within commercial, federal, and Department of Defense (DoD) environments, to launch the process.
