Proofpoint Kicks Off FedRAMP Certification for Cloud Email Protection and Information Security, Coupled with Common Criteria ...
June 19 2017 - 8:05AM
Proofpoint, Inc., (NASDAQ:PFPT), a leading next-generation security
and compliance company, today announced its Proofpoint cloud Email
Protection and Information Protection solutions have achieved
in-process status for the Federal Risk and Authorization Management
Program (FedRAMP), under the sponsorship of the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). Additionally, the Proofpoint Email
Protection appliance is undergoing testing with a national
information assurance partnership (NIAP)-approved Common Criteria
Testing Laboratory (CCTL), to achieve Common Criteria certification
with the network device collaborative protection profile (NDcPP).
“Today’s FedRAMP and Common Criteria certification in-process
announcement underscores our commitment to helping ensure our
nation’s most critical Federal agencies are protected from the
constant onslaught of cyberthreats,” said Tony D’Angelo, vice
president of Federal for Proofpoint. “Our cloud email protection,
information protection and on premise email security solutions stop
the sophisticated attacks and data theft attempts targeting the
public sector. Both certifications will build on our existing
FedRAMP-certified cloud-based information archiving solution.”
The government-wide Federal Risk and Authorization Management
Program, or FedRAMP, provides a standardized approach for cloud
product/service assessments and monitoring, which reduces an
estimated 30-40 percent of government IT costs. Certification is
achieved following rigorous testing and a sponsorship from an
existing user, which in this case was from the FCC. Up for FedRAMP
certification are Proofpoint’s leading cloud Email Protection
solution, which stops malware and non-malware threats such as
business email compromise (BEC) attacks; and its cloud-based
Information Protection solution, which allows users to easily
manage sensitive data in motion (as it is sent via email) and at
rest.
In tandem with FedRAMP certification, Proofpoint is also
officially working to achieve Common Criteria recognition, which is
an international standard for computer security certification.
Proofpoint has started the certification process by formally
engaging with a NIAP-approved lab to test its Proofpoint Email
Protection appliance effectiveness and performance. The appliance
is deployed on premise to protect agencies from spam, malware, and
even non-malware threats with accurate classification, granular
control, and visibility into all email communication.
