Cyera, widely regarded as the fastest-growing data security company in history, has taken a major step toward expanding its footprint in the federal sector by initiating the process to authorize its AI-native data security platform under the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) at the High impact level. This milestone underscores Cyera’s ambition to provide government agencies with the visibility, access governance, and automated response tools needed to safeguard sensitive data as artificial intelligence becomes central to federal operations.
FedRAMP serves as the U.S. government’s standardized approach to evaluating and monitoring the security of cloud products and services. Earning High authorization places a company among a select group capable of protecting the government’s most critical and sensitive data. By moving through this process, Cyera signals its determination to provide the highest levels of trust, compliance, and resilience for agencies that are accelerating their use of AI.
The company emphasized that adoption of AI within the federal government has surged dramatically, with usage across agencies more than doubling since 2023. Lamont Orange, Cyera’s Chief Trust Officer, noted that this surge makes securing the underlying data even more urgent. He positioned FedRAMP authorization not merely as a compliance checkbox, but as an essential enabler for AI initiatives to thrive within federal environments without compromising mission continuity or data protection.
To support the effort, Cyera has partnered with Coalfire, a long-standing leader in FedRAMP advisory and third-party assessment services. With a 100% audit success rate across FedRAMP 3PAO assessments, Coalfire brings deep expertise that reinforces confidence in Cyera’s path to authorization. Nathan Demuth, Vice President of Delivery at Coalfire, stressed that the collaboration reflects a shared commitment to enabling government organizations to embrace AI with speed, scale, and security.
Cyera’s FedRAMP pursuit aligns with broader government trends. Federal agencies are not only experimenting with AI but embedding it into mission-critical workflows, from defense operations to citizen services. This shift raises the stakes for data security, creating demand for platforms that are AI-native in design and capable of continuous adaptation. For Cyera, achieving FedRAMP High would mark an inflection point, positioning it as a trusted partner for agencies that cannot afford compromise when it comes to sensitive information.
