The U.S. government has to monitor one of the more challenging and unforgiving threat landscapes in the world. Protecting its vast, interconnected networks demands not just diligence, but a commitment to staying one step ahead of malicious adversaries.
Nation-state actors like LIMINAL PANDA exemplify these threats. These adversaries don’t just rely on brute force; they target trust itself by exploiting relationships within the federal supply chain to infiltrate systems through the weakest links. A single misconfigured security protocol or an overlooked vulnerability can become the open door through which sensitive data is exfiltrated or critical systems are compromised. The risk is systemic, cascading beyond the initial breach to ripple across agencies and their interconnected partners.
What makes this environment even more perilous is its inherent scale and scope. The federal government is not a monolith but a sprawling entity with countless points of entry, from contractor systems to vendor applications. These ecosystems often lack uniformity. Therefore, blind spots that adversaries are quick to exploit are created. The challenge in achieving the kind of real-time visibility necessary to detect, respond to and neutralize threats before they can cause irreparable damage.
To combat these significant threats, CrowdStrike now delivers proactive threat detection and critical telemetry thanks to the CrowdStrike Falcon cybersecurity platform achieving Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program authorization for three key modules: CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, CrowdStrike Falcon for IT and CrowdStrike Falcon Data Protection.
These modules are available to government entities requiring FedRAMP Moderate authorization, enabling them to secure assets through the CrowdStrike Falcon Platform in GovCloud.
Through the latest modules authorized in GovCloud, CrowdStrike provides better visibility, enhanced intelligence and advanced threat response to help government entities and their supply chains meet stringent security requirements while reducing complexity and cost.
Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, Falcon for IT and Falcon Data Protection offer real-time threat detection, asset visibility, centralized log management and data protection to support compliance efforts and adoption of Zero Trust frameworks across government environments.
“CrowdStrike delivers deep visibility across managed and unmanaged devices, enabling public sector and private industry to meet critical security mandates,” said Michael Sentonas, President, CrowdStrike. “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.”
CrowdStrike continues to deliver innovative technology to empower federal, state and local government entities, as well as their supply chains, to detect sophisticated endpoint, identity and cloud-based cyberattacks, while enhancing operational efficiency.
