HYCU Added to U.S. DHS CDM Program’s Approved Products List

HYCU, Inc. has been added to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) Program-approved product list (APL).

The DHS CDM is a Federal program with a dynamic approach to fortifying the cybersecurity of civilian Government networks and systems in close to real time. This addition to the approved product list solidifies the company’s value as a fully managed, fully optimized data protection, backup and recovery solution for the Federal Government for on-premises, hybrid and multi-cloud.

For the past 5 years, the firm has been helping Federal Government agencies and departments to protect and monitor critical applications with less complexity while lowering over TCO. By working with the industry’s leading platform and technology innovators, the company has been able to extend value, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness to keep IT moving forward.

“HYCU solutions are designed to help companies seamlessly manage, protect, optimize and recover all their data, no matter where it resides and on what platform,” said Simon Taylor, CEO and founder. “Being on the authoritative catalog for approved products that meet CDM technical requirements is indeed an accomplishment and demonstrates our engineering team’s efforts to help Federal agencies fortify their cybersecurity requirements and improve their overall security posture.”

Being added to the DHS CDM APL allows the company to bring resources together across private and public clouds with the goal of providing simplicity and security to the ever-changing cloud-first/cloud-smart Federal IT enterprise.
