BeyondTrust, the security industry’s only provider of Context-Aware Security Intelligence, today announced the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) has chosen to extend their contract with BeyondTrust to provide critical vulnerability assessment and management solutions for all branches of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). The relationship between BeyondTrust (through the acquisition of eEye Digital Security) and the DoD dates back to 2004 and provides coverage for every networked asset within the armed services networks. This contract extension also makes BeyondTrust’s award-winning Retina Network and Retina CS technology available to agencies operating under the Assured Compliance Assessment Solution (ACAS) program that need to confidently deploy a scalable vulnerability management solution.

Retina CS is the centerpiece of the BeyondTrust’s vision of Context-Aware Security Intelligence, aimed at helping commercial and government organizations answer the most pressing questions in IT – what to fix first, what to fix next and why? Retina CS does this through unmatched security intelligence and analytics for the entire IT landscape, including support for emerging technology investments such as cloud and mobile computing and virtualization.

“We honored to continue our strong relationship with the DoD by providing technology that is specific to their requirements and designed to meet the needs of highly complex, and heterogeneous government agency infrastructures,” said Kevin Hickey, president and chief operating officer at BeyondTrust. “We have a long and distinguished history as a provider of threat management and compliance solutions for both government agencies and enterprise commercial organizations. Our goal is to help our customers make better informed security strategy decisions by way of our technology.”

BeyondTrust is committed to serving government customers by providing innovative security and compliance solutions that support for SCAP, FDCC, and DIACAP initiatives. For more information about Retina CS and all of the PowerBroker offerings, please visit www.beyondtrust.com.
