Original: DHS published a FASCSA exclusion and removal order covering Acronis products in federal civilian executive-branch system
The Department of Homeland Security has issued a Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act exclusion and removal order covering Acronis products across federal civilian executive-branch systems. Agencies are required to halt covered procurement and remove the products under the order's terms.

Why now: A DHS supply-chain exclusion order directly affecting a widely used software vendor's federal presence is an unusual and consequential security action.
