What is Assured Compliance Assessment Solution?

Assured Compliance Assessment Solution (ACAS) is a suite of tools used by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to automate network vulnerability scanning, compliance assessment, and reporting. It helps organizations ensure their systems comply with security policies and regulations. ACAS typically includes Nessus for vulnerability scanning, SecurityCenter (now Tenable.sc) for managing and analyzing scan data, and other tools for compliance reporting and remediation tracking. It is commonly used to identify vulnerabilities, assess security posture, and maintain compliance with DoD security requirements.
