FedRAMP Project Management Office Prioritizes Zscaler to Pursue Joint
Authorization Board Certification at the High Impact Level
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 6, 2018--
Zscaler,
Inc. (Nasdaq: ZS), the leader in cloud security, announced it is one
of four cloud service providers selected to pursue Joint Authorization
Board (JAB) FedRAMP certification, at the High Impact level, through the
FedRAMP Connect program. This step sets the stage to further expand
Zscaler’s growth within the Federal market.
Under FedRAMP Connect, the FedRAMP Project Management Office (PMO),
Federal CIOs, and the Office of Management & Budget (OMB) review
business cases and select cloud service providers to pursue JAB
certification based on government-wide demand, applicability for
cross-agency use, and the security of the solution.
Earlier this year, Zscaler™ Private Access (ZPA™)-Government, a zero
trust, purpose-built cloud security solution, achieved a FedRAMP Agency
Authorization sponsored by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
ZPA-Government delivers certified, secure access to agency applications
from anywhere, on any device.
“We are committed to meeting the most stringent Department of Defense
(DOD) and intelligence community security requirements and certified to
deliver services through DOD cloud programs such as JEDI,” said Manoj
Apte, Chief Strategy Officer, Zscaler. “We are paving the way for
agencies to be able to use Zscaler’s cloud-based security solutions for
Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Impact levels IL4, IL5 and
IL6.”

About FedRAMP
FedRAMP is a government-wide program with input from numerous
departments, agencies, and government groups. The program’s primary
decision-making body is the Joint Authorization Board (JAB), comprised
of the CIOs from Department of Defense (DOD), Department of Homeland
Security (DHS), and General Services Administration (GSA). In addition
to the JAB, other organizations such as the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB), the Federal CIO Council, National Institute of Standards &
Technology (NIST), and the FedRAMP Program Management Office (PMO) also
play key roles in effectively running FedRAMP.
Using a “do once, use many times” framework, the program ensures
information systems/services used government-wide have adequate
information security; eliminates duplication of effort and reduces risk
management costs; and enables rapid and cost-effective procurement of
information systems/services for federal agencies.
