With computing systems in the Department of War and other federal agencies under constant threat, Leidos and RegScale are integrating Leidos’ UpHold Armor and RegScale’s Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM) platform capabilities to boost digital security while keeping critical systems operational, Leidos announced February 5.
This joint approach to automating security is designed to strengthen cyber defenses, reduce operational risk and streamline time-consuming, often manual and staff-intensive work, helping federal agencies focus on their top priorities.
“Security and risk management should enable the mission, not get in the way,” said Leidos Digital Modernization President Steve Hull. “By partnering with RegScale, we’re helping our customers move faster and stay secure while remaining focused on mission outcomes.”
The Leidos UpHold Armor solution, supported by RegScale, will initially be deployed to support the U.S. Air Force as well as other War Department and federal organizations seeking to strengthen cybersecurity, lower risk and modernize security operations.
UpHold Armor embeds automated risk management into daily operations across modern and legacy systems, while the RegScale CCM platform continuously tracks security controls and automatically collects the evidence agencies need to support ongoing system authorization to operate (ATO) and meet federal cybersecurity standards and authorization requirements such as NIST SP 800-53, and FedRAMP. Leidos and RegScale are offering a practical path to demonstrating compliance in real time, not just at audit time.
“Leidos knows that government agencies need to accelerate and become more agile,” said Travis Howerton, co-founder and CEO of RegScale. “Together, we’re turning ATO into a continuous capability—so agencies can move at the speed of innovation and stay focused on securely delivering their mission.”
