The FedRAMP Moderate Authorization, and its baseline of 325 controls, allows users from federal agencies and other industries in regulated environments to manage Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) such as personally identifiable information (PII) and routine covered defense information (CDI).
FedRAMP provides standardized security requirements for cloud products, services assessments, and monitoring used in federal agencies. It enables a more streamlined procurement process for U.S. federal customers by standardizing security requirements across federal agencies and allows them to choose authorized cloud solutions that meet various levels of security requirements and certification with confidence.
Many federal government agencies are realizing that there are benefits to having a distributed workforce—if they can solve the biggest technology challenge that remote work presents: network access and device management. Remote workers have been wrestling with a plethora of access and user experience related problems, from overly complex login and authentication processes to slow-running apps. IT teams have been struggling to better secure and optimize a suddenly perimeter-less network that is being accessed from unknown devices and unknown locations.
VMware Workspace ONE Access delivers multifactor authentication (MFA), conditional access and single sign-on (SSO) for applications delivered by combining the user’s identity with factors such as device and network information to make intelligence-driven, conditional access decisions. As a part of the Workspace ONE FedRAMP Authorized platform, federal agencies faced with the challenge of securing a remote workforce can now deliver a Zero Trust security approach while providing access from government furnished equipment (GFE) or BYO device programs for a more secure, consistent application access experience from any device.
