CyberArk announces two of its SaaS offerings achieve FedRAMP high ATO status

CyberArk announced that two of its leading software-as-a-service SaaS offerings, CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager and CyberArk Workforce Identity, have achieved Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, FedRAMP, High authorization to operate ATO status. This authorization reinforces CyberArk’s ability to help federal agencies and other public sector organizations efficiently and effectively secure access to all corporate applications, protect distributed workforces and accelerate cloud innovation in alignment with Zero Trust principles outlined in EO 14028. “Agencies must now come to terms with several cloud-based risks that lurk beneath the surface in this new technology landscape. Beyond the schemes of cybercriminals, non-malicious human error on its own has the potential to hinder mission-critical functions in the form of misconfigured networks and mismanaged controls. It’s now more important than ever to adopt the Zero Trust ‘never trust, always verify’ mentality,” said Theresa Payton, former White House CIO and member of the Cyber Defenders Council. “As new tools, technologies and threats arise, continued attention will need to be paid by government and government-adjacent regulatory programs. By adopting Zero Trust-focused compliance requirements, FedRAMP can place a greater onus on private sector organizations to launch the Federal Government efficiently and expediently into a more secure and more efficient future.”
