Illumio Government Cloud has achieved Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Authorization to Operate (ATO) at the Moderate Impact Level under the sponsorship of the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General, the Zero Trust Segmentation (ZTS) company announced on Sept. 5.
FedRAMP – which is administered by the General Services Administration (GSA) – aims to provide a standardized, government-wide approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services used by Federal agencies.
FedRAMP ATO indicates that FedRAMP requirements have been met, enabling Illumio to provide ZTS solutions through Illumio Government Cloud for reuse across various Federal civilian agencies.
Illumio Government Cloud – which includes Illumio Core and Illumio Endpoint – stops breaches from spreading across servers and endpoints with ZTS. Illumio’s FedRAMP Authorized designation solidifies the company’s commitment to serving its Federal customers in achieving their mission by avoiding cyber disasters.
“Bolstering national cyber resilience continues to be a top federal priority, with ZTS essential for success, as agencies also work to meet cyber mandates. ZTS is fundamental to any Zero Trust strategy and plays a key role in improving real-time visibility and stopping the spread of breaches throughout an agency’s environment,” said Gary Barlet, public sector chief technology officer at Illumio.
“This achievement underscores Illumio’s commitment to empowering security teams with the right tools to prepare for threats and prevent breaches, ensuring seamless uninterrupted services to the American public,” Barlet added.
With Illumio Government Cloud, Federal agencies can:
- Improve real-time visibility;
- Stop the spread of breaches; and
- Meet critical mission needs.
“As cyberattacks become more frequent and sophisticated, federal agencies must be properly equipped to defend against bad actors and global adversaries that disrupt their mission,” the organization said. “As an Authorized vendor in the FedRAMP Marketplace, Illumio can solve critical cyber challenges, such as preventing breaches from spreading and increasing visibility, to meet agency mission needs.”

The FedRAMP program has undergone big changes this year, publishing a new roadmap in March detailing how FedRAMP will evolve in 2024 and 2025.
In July, the White House’s Office of Management and Budget released long-awaited guidance to overhaul FedRAMP, replacing the policy created for the program when it began in 2011.
