Authentic8's Silo is The First Cloud-Native Web Isolation Platform to be given FedRAMP Authorization

Authentic8, the developers of the Silo Web Isolation Platform, announced today that its Silo product suite and cloud technology have been granted FedRAMP authorization, a comprehensive certification proving that its products and services follow regulatory standards for hosting the US government data.

FedRAMP is the only third-party credential program accredited by the United States government for ensuring the integrity of private cloud providers. Authentic8 is one of approximately 215 vendors that have earned FedRAMP clearance.

“FedRAMP authorization is the gold standard for cloud-based services, and Silo is the only web isolation platform that has it.” Unlike self-certification, FedRAMP allows certified third parties to determine and verify compliance with a codified series of federal risk management requirements,” said Scott Petry, CEO of Authentic8. “With FedRAMP approval, Authentic8 has been validated as sufficiently safe to host U.S. government data, regardless of agency. Any entity, public or private, benefits directly from FedRAMP's intrinsic protection as well as the quality improvement process.”

The Silo Web Isolation Platform is used by government departments and Fortune 500 companies to harden and automate their security architectures; to provide safe and anonymous web access to staff; to monitor high-value workflows, sensitive data, and web-based applications; and to perform web analysis with no risk of attribution back to the system or network.

"By using Silo's FedRAMP authorization, customers who need to function under some compliance system benefit immediately," said Michael Fledderjohann, Authentic8's Director of Security and Compliance. “Our security safeguards, in conjunction with key Silo technologies such as access management, privacy policy enforcement, and encrypted logging, assist our customers in ensuring their compliance with other requirements such as HIPAA, CCPA/CPRA, GDPR, SOX, GLB, PCI, and others.”

Authentic8's patented Silo Web Isolation Platform operates by separating users from the web by running all web code off-site in a removable container in the cloud, preventing it from accessing the network environment or end computer. Silo integrates confidentiality, identity, and data policy into the browser. It liberates the site's strength and removes the threats of unregulated third-party web content, unauthorized access, employee abuse of unmanaged devices, and malicious intent by hackers or state-sponsored actors.
