Prisma Cloud helps federal agencies and public sector partners achieve the most stringent security standards, as the world’s only cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) to achieve FedRAMP High Authorization on the FedRAMP Marketplace.

The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is a government initiative that standardizes the assessment, authorization and monitoring of cloud services for security. With the goal of promoting use of secure cloud services across the government, FedRAMP helps reduce costs and duplicative efforts, encourage public-private partnerships for innovation and enhanced security, and accelerate the adoption of cloud computing within federal agencies.

Taking the Security and Compliance of Mission-Critical Federal Agencies to the Next Level with FedRAMP High Authorization

FedRAMP High Authorization is tailored for systems managing highly sensitive data, such as law enforcement, emergency services and healthcare. As the industry’s only CNAPP to achieve FedRampHigh Authorization, Prisma Cloud meets the stringent security requirements necessary to support the U.S. government’s most critical operations.
