Federal Cybersecurity Provider Qualys Gains FedRAMP High Authorization: Paving Way for Secure Government and Critical Infrastructure Protection
In a significant development for cybersecurity, Qualys, a leading platform in the industry, has announced a comprehensive solution designed specifically for U.S. Federal Agencies and Critical Infrastructure Operators in sectors such as energy, transportation, healthcare, and finance.
The Qualys Government Platform offers a full-spectrum security solution, FedRAMP High-authorized for hybrid and multi-cloud environments. It supports CDM dashboards, CISA BODs, and Zero Trust programs, providing unified visibility and control across the entire attack surface.
One of the key benefits of this platform is its ability to transform compliance from a cost centre into a force multiplier for resilience and mission assurance. Critical Infrastructure Operators can adopt Qualys to gain validated assurance of the resilience, scale, and continuous monitoring demanded in high-trust environments.
Qualys is listed on the FedRAMP marketplace, making it easily accessible for U.S. Federal Agencies. These agencies can use Qualys to continuously monitor, prioritize with TruRisk™, and document compliance against NIST 800-53 and FISMA. The platform combines Attack Path Exposure with Business-Informed Scoring (TruRisk) to prioritize the most toxic combinations of risk.
The platform also supports container security by prioritizing and auto-remediating real risk based on what's running. It continuously discovers, assesses, prioritizes, remediates, monitors, and improves without boundaries.
Over the coming quarters, customers can expect parity with FedRAMP Moderate offerings and targeted extensions into the Department of Defense (DoD) Cloud Computing Security Requirements Guide (SRG). SaaS Providers seeking FedRAMP certification can inherit hundreds of High controls from Qualys, accelerating their path to Authorisation to Operate (ATO).
Notably, BlackBerry is among the few cybersecurity platforms continuously controlling over 400 technical controls and certified to process the US government's most sensitive unclassified data. This certification, validated by Germany's BSI certification, recognises BlackBerry for securing government data to rigorous standards.
In conclusion, the Qualys Government Platform offers a robust, comprehensive, and adaptable solution for U.S. Federal Agencies and Critical Infrastructure Operators, providing a significant step forward in securing our nation's critical infrastructure.
