Effortless Integration, Uncompromised Security
Our FIPS Inside solution is a drop-in replacement for existing NetFoundry On-Premise deployments. This means you can enhance your security to meet rigorous federal standards without sacrificing the features or seamless experience you already know and trust. The transition is smooth and straightforward, ensuring no disruption to your operations. Additionally, our FIPS Inside versions remain in lockstep with our upstream releases, guaranteeing you always have access to the latest features and critical security updates.
The included self-updating Ziti Desktop Edge for Windows 11 ensures that your team’s devices are always protected with the latest security enhancements. This state-of-the-art tunneling agent provides a secure connection for all your applications, and we extend this powerful protection to your Docker and Kubernetes environments, safeguarding your entire containerized workflow.
Your Trusted Partner for FedRAMP and CJIS Readiness
Navigating the complexities of security requirements for Federal, State, and Local (SLED) agencies is a significant challenge. The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) and CJIS Security Policy both mandate the use of FIPS-validated cryptography. By leveraging our FIPS Inside product, you can confidently demonstrate a key component of compliance, accelerating your authorization process and providing verifiable proof of your security posture.
Our solution is ideally suited for organizations that require the highest levels of security and compliance. The “FIPS Inside” designation signifies that our product incorporates or utilizes cryptographic modules that have been validated against the rigorous standards set by the U.S. government, making NetFoundry On-Premise with FIPS Inside an essential asset for any entity operating within or alongside the federal government.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this satisfy FIPS 140-3 or 140-2?
A: Yes, our platform is designed to meet your specific compliance mandate, whether that requires FIPS 140-2 or the latest FIPS 140-3 standard. Our “FIPS Inside” architecture ensures we utilize the precise, FIPS-validated cryptographic modules required for your environment. We work with you to ensure your solution is fully compliant from day one.
Q: Is the cryptographic module included?
A: Yes, the solution is self-contained and complete. Our software is pre-configured to use the correct FIPS-validated module for your specific environment. In many cases (like our container images), we package the module directly with our software. In other cases (like on Windows 11), our software is configured to utilize the system’s own built-in, FIPS-compliant cryptographic library. Either way, the solution works out of the box without you needing to integrate cryptographic components.
Q: How does licensing work?
A: Flexible on-premise licensing options are available to suit your deployment needs. Your support contract is based on the size and complexity of your network, including factors such as the number of overlay networks and their respective endpoints.
Q: Can I get the NIST certification details?
A: Yes, we provide our customers and partners with all the necessary details to tie our solution back to the applicable NIST certifications. Each NetFoundry software component is designed to comply with the security policy of a specific CMVP certificate.
Q: How quickly can I set up FIPS-compliant connectivity?
A: FIPS Inside is designed for rapid deployment, allowing you to quickly establish compliant connectivity and easily manage it at scale.
Q: How does it improve security over a traditional VPN?
A: It enhances security by replacing the wide-access model of VPNs with granular zero-trust connections and enforcing the use of FIPS-validated cryptography for all traffic.
