CrowdStrike, a leading cybersecurity company, made headlines today by announcing that its CrowdStrike Falcon® cybersecurity platform has received Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) authorization for three key modules: CrowdStrike Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM, CrowdStrike Falcon® for IT, and CrowdStrike Falcon® Data Protection. These modules are now available to government entities that require FedRAMP Moderate authorization, allowing them to secure assets through the CrowdStrike Falcon Platform in GovCloud. This authorization underscores CrowdStrike’s commitment to providing innovative technology that empowers federal, state, and local government entities, as well as their supply chains, to detect sophisticated cyberattacks targeting endpoints, identities, and cloud-based systems, all while enhancing operational efficiency.
Michael Sentonas, President of CrowdStrike, emphasized the significance of this achievement, stating, “CrowdStrike delivers deep visibility across managed and unmanaged devices, enabling public sector and private industry to meet critical security mandates.” He further added, “Today’s federal agencies navigate a complex regulatory landscape – from the comprehensive logging mandates outlined in OMB M-21-31 to the adoption of Zero Trust frameworks to secure identities against advanced threats. FedRAMP authorization allows CrowdStrike to help government agencies streamline operations, secure hybrid environments, and reduce costs while staying ahead of today’s most sophisticated adversaries.”
The U.S. government faces significant cybersecurity challenges due to the complex and distributed nature of its networks, including traditional endpoints, cloud environments, identities, and SaaS applications. Threat actors, including advanced nation-state adversaries like LIMINAL PANDA, exploit vulnerabilities in the federal supply chain, posing a severe risk to national security. To address these threats, CrowdStrike offers proactive threat detection and critical telemetry to empower agencies to mitigate intrusions across multiple domains.
With the newly authorized modules in GovCloud, CrowdStrike provides government entities and their supply chains with comprehensive visibility, enhanced intelligence, and advanced threat response capabilities to meet stringent security requirements while reducing complexity and costs. Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, Falcon for IT, and Falcon Data Protection deliver real-time threat detection, asset visibility, centralized log management, and data protection to support compliance efforts and the implementation of Zero Trust frameworks across government environments.
To further educate government agencies on enhancing their cybersecurity posture, CrowdStrike will be hosting a webinar on January 23, focusing on Zero Trust coverage across government endpoints, identities, and cloud environments. Additionally, the company will be hosting the Fal.Con Gov 2025 event on February 27 in Washington, DC, providing a platform for mission-critical cybersecurity discussions in the public sector.
CrowdStrike, listed on the NASDAQ as CRWD, is globally recognized for its cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions, leveraging cloud-native platforms to protect critical areas of enterprise risk, including endpoints, cloud workloads, identities, and data.
