Trellix achieves FedRAMP High Authorization

Nov. 7, 2024
With this designation, the Trellix GovCloud Security Platform will be available immediately for all federal agencies and organizations.

Trellix today announced the Trellix GovCloud Security Platform has received authorization at the FedRAMP High Impact Level and is available immediately for all federal agencies and organizations requiring FedRAMP-authorized cybersecurity solutions. With this designation, agencies can more easily adopt an AI-powered cybersecurity platform with extended detection and response (XDR) or endpoint detection and response (EDR), along with the threat intelligence capabilities necessary to detect and effectively manage increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.

Since July 2024, 66% of CISOs report seeing more cyber attacks. Government agencies are burdened with a convergence of challenging factors to navigate: a complex attack surface, a geopolitical climate driving hacktivism and nation-state-backed cyber threats, and evolving regulatory requirements. The cloud-based Trellix GovCloud Security Platform is deployed in AWS GovCloud and combines machine learning, artificial intelligence, and behavioral analysis to detect and respond to suspicious activity by comparing observed patterns against real-world adversarial attack techniques.

"Completing FedRAMP authorization is the natural next step in our commitment to meet the rising demand for integrated security platforms in the federal sector,” said Karan Sondhi, Chief Technology Officer, Public Sector, Trellix. “Our Trellix GovCloud Security Platform is purpose-built with AI and threat intelligence. When that intelligence is combined with integrated EDR and XDR technologies, government organizations are enabled with stronger defense against sophisticated cyber threats while maintaining the highest compliance standards.”
