Primary Value and Problem Solved:
ConfigOS Foundry addresses the complex and time-consuming process of achieving and maintaining compliance with cybersecurity standards such as RMF, NIST SP 800-171, and production STIG requirements. By automating the scanning, remediation, and reporting tasks, it eliminates up to 90% of the manual effort traditionally associated with these processes. This acceleration not only reduces the risk of non-compliance but also shortens the accreditation timeline, enabling organizations to achieve Authority to Operate more swiftly. Furthermore, its ability to customize policies and manage waivers ensures that compliance efforts are tailored to the unique needs of each organization, enhancing both security and operational efficiency.
