Delivered as a service by Accenture Federal Services (AFS), MDR
enables federal agencies, state and local governments, and
providers of critical infrastructure, to proactively defend against
and respond to cyber threats through a highly scalable centralized
security operations center, available on a 24x7x365 basis. Agencies
of any size can use MDR to protect their infrastructure while
meeting Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA)
compliance requirements.
The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP)
is a federal government-wide program that provides a standardized
approach to security assessment, authorization and continuous
monitoring for cloud products and services. FedRAMP authorization
follows a successful security audit via an accredited third-party
assessor.
“Our MDR solution combines the latest automation, artificial
intelligence and cloud technologies to provide next-generation
cybersecurity capabilities so clients can be more resilient in the
face of changing threats,” said Aaron Faulkner, Accenture Federal
Services’ cybersecurity lead. “It brings advanced security
monitoring, response and remediation at machine speed, using the
latest technologies and techniques to catch attacks before they
affect an organization’s IT environment.”
David Dalling, Accenture Federal Services’ MDR lead, said, “The
cyber threat changes daily, as do the technologies and techniques
for combatting it. Our fully integrated best-of-breed service,
built around the MITRE ATT&CK framework, allows federal
agencies and others to capitalize on advanced defenses, with the
full backing of highly trained teams with critical skillsets.
FedRAMP authorization will further streamline integration of this
recognized service into our clients’ security fabric.”
Accenture Federal Services has also received FedRAMP
authorization for the Accenture Insights Platform (AIP) for
Government and Accenture Federal Cloud ERP solutions. Learn more
