FedRAMP® Authorized and Ready: ExtraHop Powers a New Level of Federal Cybersecurity

The modern cyber landscape is defined by escalating state-sponsored threats that target federal systems and critical infrastructure. These sophisticated attacks, which aim to disrupt essential services and compromise national security, are increasing in frequency and intensity.

This rise in threats is compounded by the fact that federal security teams are already strained, managing complex, multi-vendor environments with limited resources.

To address this, federal agencies are under increasing pressure to modernize their security posture – but the process of adopting new technology is often slow and cumbersome. As a result, federal leaders are increasingly seeking security vendors that not only provide a reliable, high-fidelity platform to address these threats, but also offer solutions that are already approved and vetted.

ExtraHop Leads the Way as the Only Modern NDR with FedRAMP® Moderate Authorization

Earlier this year, ExtraHop announced its journey toward Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP®) authorization, underscoring our commitment to providing a secure and compliant network detection and response (NDR) platform for the public sector.

We’re now thrilled to share that ExtraHop has achieved Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP®) authorization, making ExtraHop RevealX™ Federal the first NDR platform to receive this critical government approval.

Being listed in the FedRAMP Marketplace with the Moderate Impact Level validates that our platform meets rigorous federal security standards. For federal agencies, this means the platform is already pre-vetted; agencies can quickly deploy ExtraHop and start addressing critical security challenges with an industry-leading NDR solution immediately.

How ExtraHop Secures Federal Agencies with Real-Time Visibility

ExtraHop provides federal agencies with real-time visibility and analysis into all network traffic, including encrypted data, to expose hidden threats, emerging vulnerabilities, and performance issues that evade existing security and IT tools.

Visibility into all communications, even those that are encrypted

Modern cyber adversaries, including nation-state actors, are experts at hiding their malicious activity within encrypted channels, leaving security teams with a critical blind spot. To close this gap, ExtraHop passively decrypts SSL/TLS traffic, giving security teams a clear view of all network communications.

Protocol fluency to counter modern threats

Sixty-two percent of threats are malware-free and use Living Off the Land techniques that exploit legitimate tools and protocols like PowerShell and Active Directory to evade signature-based endpoint defenses and move laterally across a network. ExtraHop analyzes 90+ network protocols to establish a baseline of normal behavior, allowing agencies to quickly detect subtle anomalies and stop stealthy attacks before causing harm.

Infrastructure that reduces costs

The immense cost of maintaining legacy IT systems hinders agencies' ability to modernize and address emerging threats. ExtraHop’s modular platform offers a powerful solution by consolidating tools and simplifying operations, reducing costs while still enabling secure IT modernization.

Automation for increased productivity

To keep up with cyber adversaries, federal security teams working in high-stakes environments need to be as efficient and effective as possible. ExtraHop helps by automating routine tasks, freeing up analysts to focus on high-priority activities like threat hunting and incident response.

Cloud-scale machine learning for superior threat detection

Federal agencies handle immense volumes of data, a challenge compounded by the limited capacity of traditional on-premise tools. ExtraHop solves this by sending its data analysis to the cloud and using sophisticated machine learning and AI models to build a behavioral baseline for every device and user, drastically reducing false positives while expanding threat coverage.
