Digi International Announces FIPS 140-3 Validation for Cryptographic Security on Digi Accelerated Linux-Based Solutions
With this milestone, Digi becomes the first provider of cellular connectivity solutions to achieve FIPS 140-3 validation without specialized SKUs, setting a new benchmark for secure wireless infrastructure.
This latest achievement builds on Digi’s prior FIPS 140-2 validation and reinforces its commitment to delivering the highest levels of security for mission-critical applications. FIPS 140-3, the newest standard from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), introduces enhanced requirements for cryptographic modules, including stronger security controls, improved testing rigor, and alignment with modern cybersecurity threats.
Digi’s FIPS 140-3 validated implementation is integrated across its industry-leading portfolio of cellular routers and infrastructure devices powered by DAL OS, enabling customers to meet the most stringent government and regulated industry requirements for data protection, encryption and authentication.
“Security is foundational to everything we deliver at Digi,” said Landon Reese, Vice President of Product Management at Digi International. “Achieving FIPS 140-3 validation — and doing so as the first provider in the cellular connectivity space — demonstrates our continued leadership in secure IoT infrastructure. Our customers depend on us to protect critical data and communications, and this milestone ensures they remain ahead of evolving regulatory and threat landscapes.”
Advancing Security for Mission-Critical Applications
FIPS 140-3 validation is required for federal agencies, government contractors, and organizations operating in highly regulated sectors such as healthcare, finance and public safety, where protecting sensitive data is essential.
By delivering FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography, Digi enables organizations to deploy secure connectivity solutions with confidence in environments where compliance, resilience and trust are paramount.
