NIST Issued Certificates #3154 and #3159to Zscaler after
Completion of the FIPS 140-2 Testing Process.
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 11, 2018--
Zscaler, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZS), an industry leader in cloud security, is
proud to announce the immediate availability of FIPS 140-2 validated
encryption within Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA) and Zscaler Private
Access (ZPA), including the Zscaler application (Z-App). FIPS 140-2 is
the U.S. government standard used to ensure that cryptographic modules
meet the necessary security levels for confidentiality and integrity of
Sensitive but Unclassified (SBU) information.
Zscaler now meets the FIPS 140-2 standard and is eligible to be procured
by U.S. federal agencies, including the Department of Defense. Other
regulated industries such as utilities, finance, and healthcare have
also adopted the FIPS 140-2 standard as a requirement.
“FIPS 140-2 validation was the logical next step for us in the process
of achieving our FedRAMP Certification,” says Stephen Kovac, Vice
President of Global Government and Compliance at Zscaler. “It shows
Zscaler’s continued commitment to build our security cloud to meet the
stringent and evolving public sector security regulations.”
Zscaler has partnered with SafeLogic to provide FIPS compliant crypto
libraries which have been incorporated into the Zscaler™ cloud security
platform.
“Our team is very proud to support Zscaler’s efforts,” added Ray Potter,
CEO of SafeLogic. “By working together, we were able to
accelerate Zscaler’s FIPS 140-2 validation, completing a significant
building block in their compliance strategy and raising the bar for the
cryptography in both public and private sector deployments.”
Recently, Zscaler announced it had achieved SOC II Type 2 certification,
and Zscaler is currently “In Progress” for FedRAMP Certification.
About the FIPS 140-2 Validation Process
The FIPS 140-2 validations were granted after an independently
accredited lab put the Zscaler encryption modules through a series of
tests. After proving conformance with the FIPS 140-2 standard, the
modules’ test reports were sent to CMVP, the Cryptographic Module
Validation Program, operated by the United States National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Communications Security
Establishment (CSE) of Canada. Their joint office confirmed compliance
and issued certificates #3154
and #3159
to the Zscaler Mobile Cryptographic Module and Zscaler Crypto Module,
respectively.
