Cloud security leader becomes fastest company to achieve FedRAMP milestone
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / August 15, 2024 / Cloud security leader Wiz today announced that its top-ranked Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform achieved FedRAMP® Moderate Authorization and is now listed as such on the FedRAMP Marketplace, just four years since the company's inception.
The milestone underscore Wiz's commitment to enhancing cybersecurity for U.S. government agencies as they transition to cloud environments. The power of Wiz is already being felt by many of these organizations, one example being the U.S. Navy, which integrated Wiz into its COSMOS platform, allowing for centralized visibility across its cloud resources and effective detection of security risks while ensuring strict adherence to DoD requirements.
FedRAMP is a government-wide program that ensures standardized security in the cloud, facilitating faster cloud adoption by federal agencies.
