CrowdStrike Achieves FedRAMP Authorization for New Cloud Modules to Protect Highly Regulated Industries
CrowdStrike (Nasdaq: CRWD), a global leader in cybersecurity, has announced that its CrowdStrike Falcon® platform has achieved Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) authorization for three critical modules: CrowdStrike Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM, CrowdStrike Falcon® for IT, and CrowdStrike Falcon® Data Protection. These modules are now available to government entities requiring FedRAMP Moderate authorization, enabling them to secure their assets through the CrowdStrike Falcon Platform in GovCloud. This milestone underscores CrowdStrike’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions that empower federal, state, and local government agencies, as well as their supply chains, to defend against sophisticated cyberattacks while improving operational efficiency.
Empowering Government Agencies with Advanced Cybersecurity
Government agencies operate in one of the most challenging threat environments, facing advanced adversaries like LIMINAL PANDA, who exploit trusted relationships and weak security configurations within federal supply chains. These threats pose significant risks to national security, making comprehensive visibility and proactive threat detection essential. CrowdStrike’s FedRAMP-authorized modules provide the tools needed to combat these threats, offering real-time threat detection, asset visibility, centralized log management, and data protection.
Michael Sentonas, President of CrowdStrike, emphasized the importance of this achievement: “CrowdStrike delivers deep visibility across managed and unmanaged devices, enabling public sector and private industry to meet critical security mandates. Today’s federal agencies navigate a complex regulatory landscape – from the comprehensive logging mandates outlined in OMB M-21-31 to the adoption of Zero Trust frameworks to secure identities against advanced threats. FedRAMP authorization allows CrowdStrike to help government agencies streamline operations, secure hybrid environments, and reduce costs while staying ahead of today’s most sophisticated adversaries.”
