ExtraHop® Achieves FedRAMP Authorization, Setting New Standard for NDR Protection for the U.S. Government

SEATTLE – October 7, 2025 – ExtraHop®, a leader in modern network detection and response (NDR), today announced it has achieved Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP®) Authorization for ExtraHop RevealX™ Federal, the modern NDR platform built for federal agencies.

This authorization at the Moderate Impact Level strengthens the company’s position as a trusted and secure partner for U.S. government agencies and the Department of Defense (DoD), empowering them to rapidly deploy ExtraHop’s industry-leading NDR platform.

According to upcoming ExtraHop research, nearly a quarter of government organizations report that compromised credentials and brute-force attacks were the most common methods used by attackers to gain an initial foothold in their networks. As bad actors continue to leverage these deceptive and evasive tactics, as well as living off the land techniques or hiding behind encrypted protocols, to disguise their activities, government agencies urgently need deeper network visibility and contextual telemetry to uncover these sophisticated threats.

“With compromised credentials and network breaches becoming dominant initial attack vectors, the battleground for cybersecurity has shifted from the endpoint to the network,” said Kanaiya Vasani, Chief Product Officer, ExtraHop. “Defending the US government requires a comprehensive and scalable network-centric approach to security. ExtraHop RevealX Federal is uniquely positioned to help government agencies proactively defend against advanced cyberattacks. This rigor of the FedRAMP certification process proves that our platform meets the highest security standards, making it the ideal solution not only for federal agencies and the DoD, but for all large enterprises.”
