Next Generation of Telos’ Cyber Risk Management Platform Alleviates Audit Fatigue via Automated Control Mapping
June 30 2021 - 7:30AM
Telos® Corporation, a leading provider of cyber, cloud and
enterprise security solutions for the world’s most
security-conscious organizations, today announced the launch of
Xacta.io™ 1.6.1, the latest version of its cyber risk management
and compliance analytics platform. This new version now offers a
controls crosswalk feature that enables Xacta.io to perform
automated control mapping in further support of IT regulatory
compliance management in on-premises, cloud and hybrid
environments.
The new crosswalk feature, which orchestrates control mapping at
scale, augments Predictive Mapping™, another important feature
unique to Xacta.io, which uses standard vulnerability enumerators
such as Common Vulnerability and Exposures (CVEs) and Common
Weakness Enumeration (CWE) to automate the mapping of system
vulnerabilities to their related controls. Both Predictive Mapping
and control mapping use automation to unify compliance frameworks,
significantly reducing the time and effort to validate similar
controls from various regulations and frameworks.
“Organizations across every industry are being forced to do more
with less,” said Richard Tracy, CSO and Xacta product manager,
Telos. “The crosswalk capability is a form of smart system
technology that automates control validation by mapping similar
controls from different regulations and frameworks. This makes
organizations more efficient and alleviates the burden of audit
fatigue.”
A recent survey conducted by an independent research firm found
that on average organizations must comply with 13 different IT
security compliance or privacy regulations. Xacta.io’s ability to
automate control mapping among multiple regulations relieves the
effort of validating these controls individually and then mapping
the controls manually.
The 1.6.1 release of Xacta.io will include controls crosswalk
support for several leading regulations and frameworks, including
NIST SP 800-53 Rev 4, CNSS 1253 Rev 4, NIST SP 800-171, NIST CSF,
FedRAMP, MARS-E v2.0, several DoD CC SRG Impact Levels, IRS 1075,
Regulation Canadian B, and ISO 27002. Additional mappings will be
added to the crosswalk library with subsequent Xacta.io releases to
address customer requirements. For more information about Xacta
