Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) FIPS 140-2 validated encryption is a prerequisite for FedRAMP and CMMC compliance and is governed by the FIPS 140-2 Publication, a U.S. government computer security standard used to approve cryptographic module.
The FIPS 140-2 standard specifies the security requirements that will be satisfied by a cryptographic module.
ISV’s and SaaS providers looking to obtain FedRAMP accreditation must comply with FIPS 140-2 encryption standards. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) issued the FIPS 140 Publication Series to coordinate the requirements and standards for cryptography modules that include both hardware and software components. It is critical to protect a cryptographic module within a security system to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of the information. ISV’s and Cloud Service Providers (CSP) looking to sell cloud solutions to the US Government and Department of Defense customers must understand FIPS requirements. Understanding FIPS FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) is a set of standards that describe document processing, encryption algorithms, and other information technology processes for use within non-military federal government agencies and by government contractors and vendors who support government agencies. The FIPS 140-2 standard specifies the security requirements that will be satisfied by a cryptographic module. The standard provides four increasing
The US Federal Government is expected to nearly double its acquisition of cloud services from 2019 to 2024 based on a newly released market
Commercial ISV’s and SaaS providers looking to provide cloud-based services to US Federal and Department of Defense customers
The FedRAMP Marketplace continues to show robust growth of over 30% every year with US Government agencies granting nearly 1,000 ATOs for FedRAMP.
Prior to beginning the FedRAMP certification journey, it is important to understand and categorize the nature of the data being hosted in the cloud service.
FedRAMP PMO developed a security assessment framework that must be followed by commercial cloud service providers seeking an authority to operate (ATO)
Containers are increasingly being adopted and deployed on cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS). Services like Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR)
