Public Sector: US Federal Agency
Prime Contractor: Leidos
Automated compliance verification and remediation across multiple device types.
Eliminated vulnerabilities from out-of-date configurations and legacy devices.
Refactored automation scripts to require less manual intervention, boosting engineer productivity.
Accelerated L3 VPN provisioning reads with a roadmap for automated writes.
Established a scalable automation framework for ongoing modernization.
Because federal environments require vendor approvals and strict security controls, devices often remain in service longer than in commercial settings – raising the risk of configuration drift and compliance gaps.
The network team recognized that automation was essential to keep configurations current and policy-aligned, but any solution had to fit a secure federal stack and support an Authority to Operate (ATO).
With a small team and limited existing automation (NSO, some Python and Ansible), they needed a platform that could make immediate progress and scale.
They selected three initial use cases to demonstrate value quickly:
Focusing first on verification and reporting ensured accurate, up‑to‑date configurations to meet federal security requirements, while setting the groundwork for more advanced automations like L3 VPN writes and brownfield service management.
Senior Network Engineer
Federal network teams often face the same constraints: legacy hardware, limited tooling, small teams, and uncompromising compliance.
Under the GSM‑O II contract, Leidos selected Itential to modernize how this agency manages configurations across legacy and modern devices. Itential provides a secure, scalable automation and orchestration platform proven in federal production, with multiple deployments operating under ATO and supporting continuous ATO through built‑in evidence and policy enforcement.
Senior Network Engineer
The agency met its initial targets with Itential’s:
By automating verification, reporting, and remediation for baseline and interface description compliance, the team now maintains confidence that configurations are current and consistent across domains and device types.
They’ve moved beyond slow, custom Python scripts toward a governed, low code orchestration model that preserves existing script value while extending capability and control.
Each step builds on the Itential foundation to increase delivery speed, strengthen security posture, and sustain compliance.
Next on the roadmap:
Itential provides the automation and orchestration fabric that lets agencies modernize in place – turning complex, multi-vendor infrastructure into a programmable, auditable service layer.
Proven in federal production and aligned to Zero Trust outcomes, Itential hardens posture while accelerating delivery, so day‑one deployments are compliant by design and day‑two changes remain resilient and traceable.
Agencies deploying Itential report faster change velocity, measurable reduction in attack surface, and thousands of engineer hours redirected from manual upkeep to mission priorities.
Policy‑Driven Automation for Secure, Compliant Operations
Move fast without creating new risk. Compliance shifts from box‑checking to built‑in and supports continuous ATO with automated evidence.
