Data Protection Platform Now Available for 120 U.S. Government
Organizations

WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/cybersecurity?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#cybersecuritylt;/agt;–Virtru,
a leading data protection platform provider that stands at the
intersection of security and privacy, announced today that its Virtru
Data Protection Platform has earned Federal
Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) authorization.
FedRAMP is a government-wide program that provides a standardized
approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous
monitoring for cloud products and services.

With this authorization, Virtru joins an elite marketplace of only 128
providers that helps government agencies move from insecure, legacy IT
to mission-enabling, secure and cost-effective cloud-based IT. The
FedRAMP marketplace increases the utilization and familiarity with cloud
services, while facilitating collaboration across government through
open exchanges of lessons learned, use cases, and tactical solutions.

“The Virtru Data Protection Platform has roots in the federal government
and we’re thrilled to be part of the government’s digital transformation
toward secure, cloud-based collaboration and data protection,” said
Virtru president and co-founder, John Ackerly. “Virtru enhances
productivity and enables users to do their jobs faster and more securely
by helping break down many of the stovepipes that limit data sharing due
to security and privacy concerns. Our platform was designed to support
the intra- and cross-agency collaboration that is so essential for
mission success.”

A rigorous authorization process included a capabilities assessment
across three security criteria: confidentiality, integrity and
availability. Through FedRAMP, 120 government organizations can safely
achieve the many benefits of cloud-based technologies and workflows.
Today FedRAMP covers more than five million assets of the world’s
largest cloud providers and one-third of the world’s internet traffic.

Virtru data protection already supports governmental organizations such
as the Department of Veterans Affairs and the State of Maryland, and
provides organizations easy-to-use, data encryption that protects data
wherever it is created or shared and across any network.
