MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- (Business Wire)
Confluent, Inc. (Nasdaq:CFLT), the data streaming pioneer, today announced it has achieved Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) 20x Moderate Authorization to Operate (ATO) for Confluent Cloud for Government on Amazon Web Services (AWS) GovCloud (US). Government and private agencies can now adopt one of the leading cloud-native data streaming platforms, freeing teams from low-level operations so they can focus on transforming the way the public sector delivers secure real-time services.
“FedRAMP authorization represents more than a compliance checkbox; it demonstrates our commitment to empowering government agencies to fulfill their missions with data streaming," said Michael Wallace, General Manager, Public Sector at Confluent. “Confluent Cloud for Government eliminates the burden of operating data streaming, freeing hundreds of engineering hours to focus on delivering critical capabilities that citizens depend on every day.”
The push for faster, more responsive government services is colliding with the reality that nearly 80% of IT resources are spent maintaining existing systems, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office. The operational burden is unavoidable for agencies running Apache Kafka®, the de facto standard for data streaming. Teams are constantly patching, scaling, and maintaining infrastructure. Although Kafka was adopted to enable real-time use cases across cybersecurity, smart cities, financial data exchange, and more, the heavy operational burden limits what teams can deliver. Security and compliance requirements add further friction, with assessment cycles taking six to 12 months to move a single byte of data.
The Fastest Path to Secure Data Streaming
"Confluent Cloud for Government is the fastest path to data streaming for federal agencies without added management complexities or security headaches,” said Natalie Gregory, Vice President for Open Source and DevSecOps Solutions at Carahsoft. "We're pleased to work with Confluent and our reseller partners to help teams modernize critical infrastructures while maintaining the strict security controls and compliance postures their missions require."
With Confluent Cloud for Government on AWS, public and private sector organizations gain a secure-by-design data backbone that scales automatically with mission needs. Agencies can leverage existing AWS commitments and deploy production-ready brokers in minutes, combining the compliance and security standards both platforms are known for.
Confluent Cloud for Government is now available on the FedRAMP Marketplace. Contact Confluent’s Public Sector team to learn how it can support your agency's mission.
