Noblis | August 11, 2021
Noblis, Inc., a leading provider of science, technology and strategy services to the federal government, today announced the launch of its Run with Noblis solutions suite designed to drive new levels of efficiency, visibility and insight across complex federal processes. Paired with Noblis' decades of experience tailoring services to address evolving client needs, these digital solutions will help government agencies employ automation and analytics to streamline complex workflows, expedite and improve decision making and achieve broader IT modernization goals.
The first solution within the suite, RunCyberAssurance, is available today to help federal agencies and Cloud service providers (CSPs) streamline FedRAMP and other cybersecurity compliance processes. Additional Run solutions will follow—and are all designed to simplify sophisticated federal work streams, including acquisition and grants management.
"As a science and technology organization, Noblis is founded on strong research and development practices. The addition of scalable, digital solutions is a natural evolution that aligns to our clients' transformation priorities and our strategic growth goals," said Amr ElSawy, Noblis president and CEO. "RunCyberAssurance is the beginning of a long-term strategy pairing tailored software-as-a-service offerings with our government services expertise to best serve our customers as they modernize and innovate."
RunCyberAssurance is a cloud-based solution that can be deployed either as a private stand-alone or client-based application, depending on an organization's unique mission needs. The solution is backed by Noblis' decades of experience guiding organizations through Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), NIST SP 800-53 security controls and FedRAMP. RunCyberAssurance combines automation, analytics, modern user experience and collaboration tools to streamline and standardize the compliance journey post authority to operate (ATO) for agencies and cloud service providers. The benefits include:
• Streamlining continuous monitoring, recording, measuring and tracking per FISMA, NIST SP 800-53 and FedRAMP requirements and OSCAL format ready.
• Facilitating risk mitigation strategies between agencies and CSPs to ensure remediation in a timely manner
• Automating the process of achieving and maintaining continuous ATO
In accordance with the Biden Administration's recent Cybersecurity Executive Order which places emphasis on advancing toward Zero Trust Architecture, RunCyberAssurance enables agencies to go to the cloud faster and more securely. This solution permits scale by allowing both agencies and cloud service providers to securely share and track their strategies and manage the complexity and progress of their cloud compliance with existing teams.
"Our government clients are seeking digital solutions that enable faster, smarter service delivery to their stakeholders and constituents," said Mile Corrigan, senior vice president of Noblis Federal Civilian Solutions. "We designed these solutions to meet the unique needs of our government clients and help them analyze information, automate manual processes and make data-driven decisions."

Stratasys | September 30, 2021
Stratasys Ltd., a leader in polymer 3D printing solutions, today announced that the company has introduced a new data security solution to enhance the cybersecurity of additive manufacturing as its role in government and defense applications grows larger and more mission-critical.
The new ProtectAM™ solution is the first in additive manufacturing to use Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the world’s leading enterprise Linux platform. This platform is preferred by the U.S. government to help deliver continuous information processing security in accordance with requirements contained in the applicable Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) issued by the Defense Information System Agency (DISA) of the U.S. Department of Defense.
The ProtectAM solution will initially be available for several industrial and large-format Stratasys FDM® 3D printers, which are frequently used by government customers to produce end-use parts and tools for applications such as aviation and ground maintenance applications. It is available for Fortus® 450mc™ printers effective Oct. 1 and is expected to be available for F900® 3D printers by the end of the year. Stratasys F370™ and F770™ 3D printers are expected to be added in Q1 2022, with printers that use other Stratasys technologies beyond FDM to follow. In the future, Stratasys expects to extend ProtectAM’s cybersecurity benefits to industry segments beyond government.
“The benefits of 3D printing are clear, including getting critical products wherever they are needed, with maximum speed and minimal cost, all while extending the lifespan of existing assets to save taxpayer dollars. Furthermore, the integrity of parts printed from digital files is absolutely essential, and we have established the ProtectAM solution to be a world-class security solution to continue the adoption of additive manufacturing by government agencies, and ultimately to commercial segments as well.”
Dick Anderson, Senior Vice President for Manufacturing at Stratasys
Stratasys developed its data information security solution to comply with the U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency’s Security Technical Implementation Guide for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The STIG outlines several hundred security controls to protect against cybersecurity threats.
“Software security is a front-and-center challenge for nearly every government agency, and a need that Red Hat helps to address through our extensive work in certifying the world’s leading enterprise Linux platform to meet stringent public security requirements. Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides a platform that assists users in meeting the rigorous software security needs for sensitive computing without sacrificing flexibility, scalability or innovation. We’re pleased to be able to provide this as a foundation for Stratasys as they work to innovate industrial 3D printing and additive manufacturing in the public sector.”
David Egts, Chief Technologist, North America Public Sector, Red Hat
The release of Stratasys’ ProtectAM system opens Stratasys systems to new applications within the government that extend well beyond R&D settings. For example, adherence to STIG security controls enables the U.S. military to more readily deliver a geographically distributed enterprise network of 3D printers across and even beyond U.S. military bases. Furthermore, Stratasys’ technology is built on the FIPS and Common Criteria government-certified foundation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, so mission-critical digital files can be sent wherever they are needed faster and parts can be quickly 3D printed locally.
Existing Stratasys printers are field upgradable with regular software security updates from Stratasys. More information about Stratasys in manufacturing is available online.
Stratasys is leading the global shift to additive manufacturing with innovative 3D printing solutions for industries such as aerospace, automotive, consumer products and healthcare. Through smart and connected 3D printers, polymer materials, a software ecosystem, and parts on demand, Stratasys solutions deliver competitive advantages at every stage in the product value chain. The world’s leading organizations turn to Stratasys to transform product design, bring agility to manufacturing and supply chains, and improve patient care.
