AF signs Automated Remediation, Asset Discovery memo Published Feb. 24, 2017 By Air Force Chief Information Security Officer WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- The Air Force took definitive steps Feb. 24, 2017, to secure the full range of Air Force networked systems with the mandate of the Automated Remediation and Asset Discovery (ARAD) capability. Designed to give real-time visibility into the lowest level of computing across any system which has the tool installed, ARAD is a game-changer, allowing Air Force cyberspace defenders the ability to immediately identify and respond to threats across all network reliant tools including weapons systems and Industrial Control Systems.
