GovCloud is an isolated AWS (Amazon Web Services) region for government agencies, contractors and educational institutions to run sensitive workloads in the cloud by addressing their specific regulatory and compliance requirements. FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) includes publicly announced security standards developed by the US federal government for computer systems used by non-military government agencies and government contractors. The US Cloud First policy requires that government agencies take full advantage of cloud computing to improve IT flexibility, boost operational efficiency and minimize costs, correcting some of the current IT issues related to duplicative systems, low asset utilization and fragmented, dispersed resources.
"By bringing together GovCloud with FIPS support, Druva becomes the first data protection and governance solution that can be utilized by these organizations, ensuring they meet the standards set forth by NIST." Public cloud environments like Amazon's GovCloud have been a huge step in the right direction, but the lack of software vendors meeting their unique data processing requirements has created barriers to adoption," said Jaspreet Singh, CEO of Druva. "We've seen a sharp increase in interest from government agencies and contractors for endpoint data protection in the cloud as part of the US government's cloud-first initiative. Druva is incorporating both device level FIPS-validated encryption modules for the secure transmission of data and also leveraging AWS GovCloud FIPS-enabled endpoints and storage, simplifying the data protection process for organizations needing to adhere to the FIPS standard. In addition, the solution ensures government agencies and contractors that must adhere to the FIPS 140-2 encryption standard now have the ability to meet the technology requirements for running sensitive workloads in the cloud. This first-of-its-kind support now enables Druva's top-rated data protection and governance solution in the cloud. SUNNYVALE, CA-(Marketwired - Dec 15, 2015) - Druva, the leader in converged data protection, today announced it is the first organization to provide FIPS-enabled endpoint data protection in the AWS GovCloud.
