Skyhigh Security today announced that Skyhigh Secure Web Gateway (SWG) has received the Highest Authorization of the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP), on the FedRAMP Marketplace.
FedRAMP is a US federal government-wide program that standardizes the security assessment, authorization, and ongoing monitoring of cloud products and services. This certification builds on the company’s momentum in safeguarding sensitive data and access in regulated public and private sector industries, following global certification milestones such as the FedRAMP High CASB certification, US DoD Level 2 and Level 4 authorizations, EU GDPR compliance and Australia IRAP certifications.
Skyhigh SWG, part of the Skyhigh Security Service Edge (SSE) portfolio, provides continuous, secure access for the hybrid workforce, protection of vital government information, and defense against today’s evolving threat landscape.
