San Jose, California, November, 30, 2022

Zscaler, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZS), the leader in cloud security, today announced that Zscaler Private Access (ZPA)™ has achieved FedRAMP Moderate authorization, making Zscaler the only cloud security service provider to have all core solutions comprising its portfolio of products - the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange platform™ - now authorized through the U.S. Federal government’s FedRAMP program at High and Moderate levels. Government agencies and their contractors will be able to use Zscaler’s Zero Trust platform for systems that manage their most sensitive information and protect against cyber threats. 

“Five years ago Zscaler committed to achieving FedRAMP Moderate and High authorization for our entire Zero Trust platform. The Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange includes  Zscaler Secure Web Gateway, the first TIC 3.0 cloud solution to be authorized by the FedRAMP office. Zscaler’s FedRAMP goals are complete, and today hundreds of Federal agencies and Defense Industrial Base (DIB) customers are using these platforms to secure their missions,” says Stephen Kovac, Chief Compliance Officer, Zscaler. “Additionally, Zscaler has completed IL5 certification on its zero trust platforms, which aligns with the release of the Pentagon’s zero trust strategy. In the coming months, you will hear more from our team. We will share our process and lessons learned as we’ve grown to become the Federal government’s most trusted cloud security provider. Our hope is that other organizations will benefit and likewise strengthen Federal cyber defenses.”

Das wichtigste Entscheidungsgremium des Programms ist das Joint Authorization Board (JAB), das sich aus den CIOs der US-Ministerien Department of Defense (DOD) und Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sowie der General Services Administration (GSA) zusammensetzt. Neben dem JAB spielen auch andere Organisationen wie das Office of Management and Budget (OMB), der Federal CIO Council, das National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), das DHS und das FedRAMP Program Management Office (PMO) eine Schlüsselrolle bei der effektiven Durchführung von FedRAMP.

Mithilfe eines Frameworks nach dem Prinzip „Einmal ausführen, mehrmals verwenden“ stellt das Programm sicher, dass regierungsweit genutzte Informationssysteme/-dienste über angemessene Informationssicherheit verfügen.
