Cloud Security Leader Achieves FedRAMP Milestone Faster Than Any Other

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / August 15, 2024 – Cloud security pioneer Wiz has announced that its top-rated Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform has achieved FedRAMP® Moderate Authorization, marking it as the fastest company to reach this milestone since its founding. Wiz’s achievement is now officially listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace.

This accomplishment highlights Wiz’s dedication to strengthening cybersecurity for U.S. government agencies transitioning to cloud environments. The platform’s effectiveness is already evident, with notable integrations such as the U.S. Navy’s use of Wiz in its COSMOS platform. This integration provides centralized visibility across cloud resources, enhances risk detection, and ensures compliance with DoD requirements.

FedRAMP, a government-wide program, standardizes cloud security to facilitate faster adoption by federal agencies. Wiz’s rigorous security assessment and compliance with National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication 800-53 controls affirm its adherence to federal security standards. As the federal government modernizes its cybersecurity approach, Wiz supports agencies in keeping pace with evolving cloud threats and improving their security posture.

“We are thrilled to achieve FedRAMP authorization at such a critical time,” said Assaf Rappaport, Co-Founder and CEO of Wiz. “As the U.S. Federal Government adapts to the modern cybersecurity landscape amidst advancements in cloud technology and AI, Wiz is uniquely positioned to deliver comprehensive risk management across these domains.”

Wiz’s platform offers significant operational and security enhancements, including comprehensive visibility through the Wiz Security Graph, targeted risk mitigation, compliance assessment, proactive threat management, and secure AI utilization.
