Salesforce announced recently the rollout of a new version of its government cloud, Government Cloud Premium, designed with Top Secret authorization to support U.S. national security agencies and intelligence organizations.
This advanced cloud solution is hosted on Amazon Web Services’ Top Secret cloud infrastructure. According to Salesforce’s press release, Government Cloud Premium is built with an API-first architecture, enabling agencies to leverage other data sources and systems, including proprietary AI applications, to enhance mission-critical operations.
Bill Pessin, Salesforce’s Senior Vice President for National Security, told Nextgov/FCW that this offering is the “first true commercial cloud with Top Secret accreditation,” providing both platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and software-as-a-service (SaaS) capabilities to the U.S. intelligence community.
Government Cloud Premium allows intelligence agencies to quickly develop and configure secure, user-friendly applications using no-code and low-code options, tailored to specific operational needs. The environment is built on Salesforce’s zero-trust model to strengthen data security against potential threats.
“Government Cloud Premium and its Top Secret accreditation bring innovative capabilities to the [intelligence community], enabling them to modernize and achieve operational agility at mission speed,” Pessin added.
Salesforce also offers other secure cloud environments, such as Government Cloud Plus and Government Cloud Plus – Defense, which meet FedRAMP high security standards and are widely used by federal agencies.
