Mu Studio Performance and Mu Studio Security help Government suppliers and their operational agency clientele automate their testing requirements. Using Mu Dynamics’ multi-purpose test solution, complemented by the resources of TestCloud, a cloud-based repository of diverse ready-to-run test content, government agencies can quickly create tests that accurately reflect the reality of their unique network environment to:

• Automate Information Assurance: The Mu Dynamics solution can automatically generate customized tests that simulate the agency’s unique environment to meet their specific information assurance requirements for their information systems. Mu automates the analysis of the confidentiality, integrity and/or availability of their computing environment to maximize its availability and security.
• Verify Security Posture: Due to the nature of the evolving threat landscape, security posture must always be course-corrected to adapt to the latest (and ongoing) risks to government information systems. Mu enables agencies to proactively test all cyber security resources (either perimeter or internal security enforcement devices) throughout the deployment life cycle, as opposed to conducting simple one-time, isolated product acceptance tests. Ongoing testing is a best practice because it ensures security protection throughout the life cycle with every rule change, every patch or upgrade, etc.
• Support Certification & Accreditation: Mu Dynamics’ intelligent Studio Security solution augments the staff of agile agencies, delivering the ability to quickly create tests to verify a service or device meets the specific security guidelines set out by the government. The Mu solution provides ongoing records of previous tests and ensures that the information system maintains up-to-date C&A compliance via continuous monitoring of in-service deployed systems.
• Conduct Comprehensive IPv6 Testing: The IPv6 attack surface is effectively unknown; the Mu solution natively supports IPv6, from protocol-level conformance tests (e.g., NIST USGv6 NPD, IPv6 Ready Phase 2, etc.) to application-level tests covering resiliency, scalability, functionality and security. Agencies are taking a leadership position on deploying IPv6. Mu delivers powerful automated multi-dimensional IPv6 testing that to ensure each agency can proactively discover and understands all the interdependencies and impacts associated with their unique IPv6 deployment.      

The Mu Dynamics solutions are already in use by numerous civilian and defense federal agencies, including:

• U.S. Air Force
• U.S. Army
• U.S. Department of Energy
• U.S. Food and Drug Administration
• U.S. Marine Corps
• U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
• Various intelligence agencies
