CrowdStrike for the Federal Government FAQ
The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is a government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. This approach uses a “do once, use many times” framework that reduces the cost, time and staff required to conduct redundant security assessments across different agencies.
The CrowdStrike Falcon® platform has been FedRAMP authorized since 2018, an industry first for cloud-native endpoint protection. At the time, the Falcon platform achieved FedRAMP Moderate, and we continue further pursuit of higher authorization levels in partnership with the Federal Government.
For additional information, visit the Falcon on GovCloud webpage or CrowdStrike FedRAMP Marketplace listing.
The CDM program enhances government network security through automated control testing and progress tracking. This approach:
- Provides services to implement sensors and dashboards
- Delivers near real-time results
- Prioritizes the worst problems within minutes, versus quarterly or annually
- Enables defenders to identify and mitigate flaws at network speed
- Lowers operational risk and exploitation of government IT systems and networks
Additionally, for federal cyber investments, the CDM program fulfills Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) mandates.
