U.S. Air Force deploying Acronis Access Advanced to Provide
Secure Mobile Access for Employees
Burlington, MA -August 24, 2015 - Acronis®, a global leader in cloud
data protection, today announced that the U.S. Air Force has given
Acronis Access Advanced the Authority to Operate (ATO) on its
networks. Acronis is the first Secure Mobile Content Management
provider to obtain an ATO by the U.S. Department of Defense.
Mobility is changing the way the private and public sector work
together. Tablets, smartphones, and other mobile devices are the
norm for government employees, agencies, and contractors - all of
whom are increasingly working remotely with the need to securely
access and share critical documents and information. Military
organizations also need to control who has access to sensitive
information and have the audit trails necessary to comply with
standards and regulations.
To face these new challenges of secure mobile access of
information, the U.S. Air Force was looking for a solution that
allows the synchronization and use of a large number of manuals and
other documents when employees are offline from a secured IT
network, including encryption features meeting FIPS 140-2
requirements, tight integration with the MDM solution and Active
Directory. This also includes the ability to work on documents in
real-time to manage changes and versions with Microsoft Office
editing and PDF annotation capabilities.
The U.S. Air Force selected and certified Acronis
Access Advanced with the ATO for the solution's advanced secure
access capabilities, as well as its real-time access, editing,
synchronization and sharing capabilities. This ensures that
critical information is protected and under the strict control of
U.S Air Force IT administrators and information assurance
specialists, while offering an easy and user-friendly product to
end users.
"Being certified on U.S. Air Force networks further establishes
Acronis' proven and validated highly secure access model for file
sync and share," said Derick Naef, Vice President and General
Manager of Acronis Mobility Solutions. "Now that Acronis Access
Advanced has received the Authority To Operate from the U.S
Department of Defense, the
U.S. Air Force or other military organizations can immediately
take advantage of our secure mobile content management, while
empowering both government employees and external contractors to
collaborate on documents and work from anywhere, over any
device."
