Zscaler Internet Access Prioritized for FedRAMP Joint Authorization Board Certification at High Impact Level

Zscaler Internet Access - Core of the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange - Prioritized for Authorization to Secure the Government’s Most Sensitive, Unclassified Data in Cloud Environments by FedRAMP Connect

San Jose, California, février, 02, 2021

SAN JOSE, Calif. – February 2, 2021 – Zscaler, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZS), the leader in cloud security, today announced that Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) has been selected to be prioritized for Joint Authorization Board (JAB) FedRAMP certification at the High Impact Level through the FedRAMP Connect program. ZIA, combined with Zscaler Private Access (ZPA), are the core of the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange. ZPA is JAB authorized at the High Impact Level. 

Solutions authorized at the High Impact Level protect the government’s most sensitive unclassified data in cloud environments, including data where loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability may have a severe adverse effect on operations, organizational assets, or individuals.

This milestone further supports Zscaler’s commitment to help federal agencies at the Moderate and High baseline levels adopt modern cloud-based security to protect from catastrophic breaches. Zscaler currently supports over 100 federal agencies, federal system integrators, and partners, and close to one million total users, helping to keep sensitive data secure and employees safe and productive, working from anywhere.

Under FedRAMP Connect, the FedRAMP Program Management Office (PMO), Federal CIOs, and the Office of Management & Budget (OMB) review business cases, prioritize, and expedite JAB certification based on government-wide demand, applicability for cross-agency use, and the security of the solution.  

In 2019, Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA™) became the first cloud-based secure web gateway solution to earn FedRAMP certification. Today’s announcement underscores the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange™ and Zscaler Advanced Cloud Sandbox as the industry model for the successful implementation of Trusted Internet Connection (TIC) 3.0. The Zero Trust Exchange is a cloud-native platform that securely connects users, apps, and devices. The Zscaler Advanced Cloud Sandbox is a breakthrough proxy-based architecture to find and block zero-day threats. 

Zscaler’s innovation delivers a validated solution to civilian agencies to securely access cloud, internet, and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications from any device or location while meeting or exceeding government requirements. Additionally, the certification of Zscaler Internet Access at the High Impact Level will enable Zscaler to move more aggressively into the DoD and IC marketplace.

“The events from this past year have forced the world to think differently about security in order to rapidly deploy digital services at a massive scale,” said Stephen Kovac, Zscaler’s Vice President of Global Government and Head of Corporate Compliance. “Zscaler Internet Access and Zscaler Private Access  meet the highest DHS CISA TIC 3.0 guidelines to help keep civilian agencies and employees safe, productive, and focused on their mission. ZIA achieving FedRAMP High is a significant step forward in making Zscaler’s Zero Trust Exchange available to DoD and the Intelligence communities.”

This announcement builds on recent Zscaler momentum including:

  • ZPA™ achieved FedRAMP-High JAB Authorization
  • ZIA™ achieved FedRAMP “In Process” status at the High Impact level, sponsored by a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Command
  • ZIA™ received Authorization to Operate (ATO) at the Moderate Impact level
  • Zscaler was recognized as the only Leader in the Gartner December 2020 Magic Quadrant for Secure Web Gateways. This is the 10th consecutive year Zscaler has been named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Secure Web Gateways
  • The DoD’s Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) selected Zscaler to prototype ZPA and ZIA as secure access technologies. The project has the potential to scale to other DoD organizations through a production Other Transaction (OT) agreement

À propos de FedRAMP

FedRAMP est un programme gouvernemental auquel participent de nombreux ministères, agences et groupes gouvernementaux. Le principal organe décisionnel du programme est le Joint Authorization Board (JAB), composé des DSI du DOD, du DHS et de la GSA. Outre le JAB, d’autres organisations telles que l’OMB, le Federal CIO Council, le NIST, le DHS et le FedRAMP Program Management Office (PMO) jouent également un rôle clé dans le bon fonctionnement de FedRAMP.

En utilisant un cadre de type « faire une fois, réutiliser souvent », le programme garantit que les systèmes/services d’information utilisés dans l’ensemble du gouvernement sont dotés d’une sécurité de l’information adéquate ; il élimine la duplication des efforts et réduit les coûts de gestion des risques ; et il facilite l’acquisition rapide et rentable de systèmes/services d’information pour les agences fédérales.
