VIRTRU EARNS FEDERAL RISK AND AUTHORIZATION MANAGEMENT (FEDRAMP) AUTHORIZATION
Data Protection Platform Now Available for 120 U.S. Government Organizations
Virtru, a leading data protection platform provider that stands at the intersection of security and privacy, announced today that its Virtru Data Protection Platform has earned Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) authorization. FedRAMP is a government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services.
With this authorization, Virtru joins an elite marketplace of only 128 providers that helps government agencies move from insecure, legacy IT to mission-enabling, secure and cost-effective cloud-based IT. The FedRAMP marketplace increases the utilization and familiarity with cloud services, while facilitating collaboration across government through open exchanges of lessons learned, use cases, and tactical solutions.
“The Virtru Data Protection Platform has roots in the federal government and we’re thrilled to be part of the government’s digital transformation toward secure, cloud-based collaboration and data protection,” said Virtru Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, John Ackerly. “Virtru enhances productivity and enables users to do their jobs faster and more securely by helping break down many of the stovepipes that limit data sharing due to security and privacy concerns. Our platform was designed to support the intra- and cross-agency collaboration that is so essential for mission success.”
A rigorous authorization process included a capabilities assessment across three security criteria: confidentiality, integrity and availability. Through FedRAMP, 120 government organizations can safely achieve the many benefits of cloud-based technologies and workflows. Today FedRAMP covers more than five million assets of the world’s largest cloud providers and one-third of the world’s internet traffic.
Virtru data protection already supports governmental organizations such as the Department of Veterans Affairs and the State of Maryland, and provides organizations easy-to-use, data encryption that protects data wherever it is created or shared and across any network.
