CISA’s mission is to lead the national effort to protect and
enhance the resilience of the nation’s physical and cyber
infrastructure. By using best practices from the private sector,
Accenture Federal Services is supporting the agency’s Cybersecurity
Division (CSD) Vulnerability Management (VM) Insights Branch with
delivering timely and actionable guidance on risk mitigation
strategies to the agency’s partners and stakeholders.
“Accenture Federal Services values our work with CISA helping to
ensure senior leaders at departments, agencies, and the private
sector throughout the United States understand their role in
reducing the likelihood and impact of a potentially damaging
compromise,” said Accenture Federal Services CEO, Ron Ash. “This is
important work, as it supports the agency and its partners with
protecting our nation’s critical infrastructure and enhancing
overall cyber resilience.”
CISA’s VM Insights Branch plays a key role in CISA’s
implementation of the Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical
Infrastructure Act of 2022 (CIRCIA). This legislation marks an
important milestone in improving America’s cybersecurity by
requiring that covered entities report covered cyber incidents and
ransomware payments, enabling the agency to rapidly spot trends and
share information with network defenders.
“CISA plays a critical role in enabling cyber risk reduction,
strengthening critical infrastructure resilience, and reducing
attack surface exposure in the face of increasingly sophisticated
cyberattacks,” said Paloma Prutsok, a managing director in
Accenture Federal Services and CISA Client Account Lead. “Our team
looks forward to using our global expertise to deliver
transformative analytic products and solutions that help execute
the VM mission.”
The length of the CISA CSD VM Insights contract is a one-year
base with four option years.
In 2021, Accenture Federal Services was awarded a $112 million
prime task order from CISA to protect Federal Civilian Executive
Branch systems against cyberattacks.
Earlier this year, Accenture Federal Services and Google Public
Sector expanded their strategic alliance and launched a
Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (COE). The COE introduces
Mandiant’s threat intelligence into Accenture Federal Services’
cyber solutions.
