FALLS, N.J., June 5, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Commvault, a leading provider of cyber
resilience and data protection solutions for hybrid cloud
organizations, is proud to announce that its SaaS-delivered data
protection offerings have achieved the Federal Risk and
Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP®) High
Authorization. This certification signifies that Commvault Cloud
for Government can securely handle the most sensitive,
controlled unclassified information (CUI) in cloud computing
environments for government agencies and contractors, providing
unmatched data protection and cyber resilience.
FedRAMP is a government certification program that provides a
standardized security assessment for SaaS application vendors to
become authorized to work with federal and state agencies in
the United States. Built on a
three-level framework, FedRAMP High Authorization, the highest
level of security authorization within the program, ensures that
cloud solutions meet the stringent security standards established
by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and
can protect data in accordance with the U.S. government's most
rigorous security protocols.
Commvault's achievement of FedRAMP High Authorization for its
Commvault Cloud for Government SaaS-delivered data protection
solution demonstrates the company's commitment to providing
government agencies with the highest level of data protection and
cyber resilience, helping to ensure their critical data remains
secure and available in the face of evolving cyber threats.
"We are thrilled to have achieved FedRAMP High Authorization for
our Commvault Cloud for Government offering," said Don Maruca, Vice President, Federal,
Commvault. "This certification validates our dedication to
delivering secure and reliable data protection solutions for
government agencies. With our FedRAMP High Authorization, customers
can have confidence in the security and cyber resilience of their
data, knowing that it is protected by the strictest
industry-leading protocols and benchmarks."
Commvault Cloud elevates cyber resilience beyond the norm,
making it easy to implement the recovery readiness and testing
practices outlined in legislation like DORA and frameworks like
NIST.
With features such as continuous cyber recovery plan testing and
the ability to recover automatically to an isolated, secure
cleanroom in the cloud, Commvault transforms immutable data storage
into a proactive resilience mechanism. Government agencies can now
safeguard their data while actively engaging with it to ensure
uninterrupted operations and rapid response to cyber incidents.
Commvault Cloud's FedRAMP High Authorization applies
specifically to its Commvault Cloud for Government SaaS offerings.
These dedicated solutions are designed to meet the unique needs of
federal agencies and are hosted exclusively using government cloud
deployment models, which are also compliant with U.S. government
and federal regulations.
"The U.S. Department of the Treasury, as the initial agency
supporting Commvault Cloud for Government (formerly Metallic),
congratulates the FedRAMP team, our internal security team and
Commvault for achieving the FedRAMP High Authorization as of
17 May 2024, the Federal government's
highest cybersecurity certification for protecting controlled
unclassified information (CUI)."
"The FedRAMP team has completed the review of the Commvault
Cloud for Government (formerly Metallic) authorization package and
concluded FedRAMP High Authorization. FedRAMP acknowledges that
this achievement is based on the support of Federal agencies such
as the Department of the Treasury in their role as the initial
agency to issue an ATO, Commvault as the CSP, and Coalfire and the
Treasury security team as the independent assessors."
"NIST has authorized and is currently using Commvault Cloud for
Government (formerly Metallic). NIST commends the FedRAMP team and
the Department of the Treasury in completing the approval of the
FedRAMP High Authorization for Commvault Cloud for Government on
17 May 2024."
"This certification is yet another clear indicator that
Commvault Cloud is a critical tool for government agencies handling
sensitive data in the cloud," said Craig P.
Abod, President, Carahsoft. "As a long-standing Commvault
partner, we look forward to working with our reseller partners to
provide these newly authorized solutions to our public sector
customers. With its FedRAMP High Authorization, Commvault is now in
a league of its own, going beyond data protection to provide
top-tier data security and rapid recoverability from cyber
attacks."

The FedRAMP Marketplace, a public government-controlled portal,
lists all FedRAMP designated solutions and provides a catalog for
government agencies to discover authorized solutions.
