Sumo Logic Achieves FedRAMP-Moderate “In Process”

Sumo Logic is taking the next step towards Moderate authorization under the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP). Today Sumo moved from “Ready” to “In Process” on the FedRAMP Marketplace, an important step toward expanding our ability to serve U.S. governmental agencies.

Sumo Logic expects to achieve FedRAMP-Moderate Authorization quickly while working closely with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) as our agency partner.

FedRAMP is widely recognized as one of the most robust and demanding security regulations. “Machine-data is inherently sensitive in nature. We found early on that government customers need more than a, ‘Low-Impact Software as a Service’ FedRAMP designation, for a Security Incident Event Management (SIEM) solution” said George Gerchow, Chief Security Officer at Sumo Logic. “The road toward FedRAMP Moderate designation isn’t easy, but we know from experience that the effort is worthwhile. We see this project as a natural extension of our support for simplified, easy to implement compliance with other security standards like PCI and HIPAA - that puts Sumo Logic at the forefront of log analytics and continuous intelligence.”

Visibility into complex, ephemeral cloud-based environments is an ongoing challenge for network and security teams across the federal government. Legacy, on-prem solutions simply don’t translate well into the dynamic world of the cloud. Sumo Logic’s pure SaaS log analytics solution is a game-changer for agencies looking to bolster security and optimize performance.
