FedRAMP is a U.S. government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services.

“We are pleased to achieve the in-process status, which is a key milestone for authorization,” said Sachin Nayyar, CEO of Securonix. “The public sector faces a unique set of challenges while also having the critical role of serving and protecting the American people’s security and privacy. The White House’s recent executive order aimed at improving public sector cyber posture highlights the fact U.S. public and private sector entities have become increasingly targeted by sophisticated nation-state actors and cybercriminals. This in-process determination is very timely and provides the federal market as well as the software supply chain with access to the Securonix platform to more effectively identify and respond to advanced threats.”
The Securonix platform delivers analytics-driven SIEM, XDR, SOAR, and NTA, with UEBA at its core, as a pure cloud solution. This commitment to a secure and compliant cloud architecture provides the public sector with cost savings and the required scalable cloud infrastructure to handle big data demands. Securonix continues to invest in engineering and product development efforts to strengthen its alignment with government cybersecurity policies and risk management objectives, in addition to supporting the federal contractor community and supply chain.
