CylancePROTECT Receives FedRAMP CertificationCylance Inc., the company that is revolutionizing cybersecurity through the use of artificial intelligence to proactively prevent advanced persistent threats and malware, today announced that it has achieved Moderate certification in the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP). The company can now deploy its AI-driven endpoint security product CylancePROTECT® to United States government agencies through a cloud-managed architecture. FedRAMP is the first government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization and continuous monitoring for cloud-based services. FedRAMP-authorized products allow agencies to leverage existing security assessments for cloud-based systems leveraging a uniformed government approved risk-based management strategy. Consequently government agencies have a significant level of confidence regarding the security posture of the approve application. Cylance (News - Alert) uses an independent Third Party Assessment Organization (3PAO) to perform monthly continuous monitoring efforts that are reported directly to the accrediting Agency, the Office of Personnel Management and FedRAMP. The 3PAO provides agencies with continuous re-assurance of the security status of CylancePROTECT. "In addition to our other deployment models, we're excited that federal agencies can now take advantage of our artificial intelligence-based preventive solution, but with the efficiencies of a cloud-managed architecture," said Chris Zimmerman, vice president of Cylance Federal. "Cylance's mission is to protect everyone under the sun, and achieving this authorzation is an important step towards helping protect our nation's most valued assets."
