All U.S. government agencies must meet the rigorous Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS). For agencies running on Kubernetes, that means encrypting their in-cluster traffic with FIPS validated modules. Government agencies buying cloud solutions require their vendors to achieve FedRAMP authorization, a rigorous process that includes FIPS validated encryption. The easiest way to achieve that is through a FIPS-validated service mesh like Buoyant Enterprise for Linkerd. Whether you are a government agency or a vendor seeking FedRAMP authorization, Buoyant Enterprise for Linkerd will help you fast-track FIPS or FedRAMP journey.
The world's lightest, most secure service mesh, now with FIPS-validated cryptographic libraries
The path to FedRAMP ATO is a significant undertaking for any SaaS provider that wants to sell to the U.S. federal government. And vendors running their applications on Kubernetes face a unique set of challenges and opportunities.
In this webinar, Zscaler Principal Software Engineer John Hamilton discusses how Zscaler successfully navigated the FedRAMP process on its Kubernetes platform.
FedRAMP, FIPS, and zero trust are three critical concepts for any company that wants to do business with the federal government.
This solution uses Rancher RKE2 and Linkerd to meet FIPS and FedRAMP requirements, while enabling Zero Trust security for secure, compliant, and scalable Kubernetes deployments.
