Summary

CrowdStrike is enhancing its cybersecurity offerings by pursuing higher compliance standards to better serve government agencies, having achieved FedRAMP Moderate Impact Level authorization with 27 federal agencies already benefiting from its cloud-native protection. The company aims to reach the Department of Defense (DoD) Impact Level 5 authorization, leveraging partnerships with government agencies to navigate the complex process of meeting these stringent requirements. This effort is part of a broader commitment to support government IT modernization, which has become increasingly urgent due to the shift to remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic and the rise in cyber threats like PIONEER KITTEN. By achieving these authorizations, CrowdStrike aims to provide secure, cloud-based cybersecurity solutions that meet federal standards, ensuring trust in their ability to protect critical data and endpoints from evolving threats.
