FortiScan Receives Secure Content Automation Protocol Validation Fortinet Adds to its Impressive List of Products Meeting Compliance Mandates

Fortinet® - a market-leading network security provider and worldwide leader of unified threat management (UTM) solutions - today announced that the FortiScan™ product line has completed the Secure Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) validation. In order for government agencies to provide Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) compliance reporting, they must utilize a SCAP validated product. 

The SCAP program was established to ensure that security tools comply with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards. In addition, the compliance program enabled federal agencies to not only continuously monitor systems against the Office of Management and Budget mandated Federal Desktop Core Computing (FDCC) standards, but also provide reporting in a consistent format within FISMA.

The Fortinet FortiScan appliance allows organizations to identify and close IT compliance gaps and implement continuous monitoring in order to audit, evaluate, and comply with internal, industry, and regulatory policies for IT controls and security. The FortiScan appliance utilizes eXtensible Configuration Checklist Description Format (XCCDF) for customizable benchmarks as well as FDCC compliant benchmarks.
