Providing Optimal Cloud Security Outcomes Through StateRAMP

Palo Alto Networks reaches a significant milestone as our commitment to comprehensive security achieves the largest number of StateRAMP marketplace approved cybersecurity offerings.
In its commitment to be the state and local government's cybersecurity partner of choice, Palo Alto Networks provides unparalleled support for organizations with dedicated investment in providing tools for a safer and more secure digital world.
State and local government agencies, schools, transportation systems and hospitals are subject to a constant barrage of attacks through ransomware and other techniques of bad actors.
As many in the public sector are taking advantage of cloud technologies, and as cyberattacks increase across local and state governments, it's critical to ensure those cloud technologies meet certain security standards, particularly as states continue to look for better accountability in their cybersecurity.
FedRAMP provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization and continuous monitoring of digital assets for federal government users.
StateRAMP now joins that program in authorizing cloud technologies to protect participating state, local and education agencies.
StateRAMP is a non-profit organization, developing standards and setting a baseline for security controls in the cloud.
Established in 2020, StateRAMP verifies that approved software and cloud offerings used by state and local governments comply with the baseline parameters informed by NIST. When a cloud technology becomes a StateRAMP authorized solution, it is acknowledged as complying with NIST guidelines, which address all major known security risks for information and cloud systems.
Once a product is certified by the StateRAMP project management office, the cloud service provider must conduct continuous monitoring.
This continuous monitoring requirement is a critical provision of StateRAMP, and one that Palo Alto Networks fully supports and stands ready to provide.
With StateRAMP, government entities no longer need to spend time or money conducting their own security audits.
When engaging with a vendor, they can be confident that the vendor has been assessed and cleared as a viable and trusted security partner.
Palo Alto Networks is deeply committed to bolstering the cybersecurity resilience of state and local government entities.
Platformization involves integrating diverse cybersecurity solutions into a unified platform, offering enhanced visibility, automation, and control over security processes.
By embracing platformization, we enable state and local governments to consolidate their security efforts, streamline operations, and maximize the effectiveness of their cybersecurity initiatives, thereby improving their security posture.
Our StateRAMP-authorized Government Cloud Suite of products and services exemplifies our dedication to supporting this strategy.
By offering a unified platform equipped with state-of-the-art security solutions, we empower government entities to proactively mitigate cyber threats, safeguard critical assets, and uphold the trust of their constituents.
As the #1 trusted partner in cybersecurity, Palo Alto Networks remains committed to advancing the principles of platformization and supporting state and local governments in their pursuit of robust security measures.
Together, we navigate the complexities of cybersecurity with a unified vision, ensuring the safety and resilience of our digital infrastructure for generations to come.
