The State Department wants to make sure its security officials can keep up with vulnerabilities in its networks—an amalgam of sensitive and classified networks, hosted on-prem and in the cloud, in the U.S. and abroad—and is rethinking its Enterprise Vulnerability Scanning Solution in a new contract.
“The DOS Cyber Protection program requires the capability to rapidly scan, assess and report on the security posture of the department’s networks,” according to a draft performance work statement posted to beta.SAM.gov. “The department needs a solution that will provide analysis, monitoring, reporting, configuration, as well as policy and device management.”
