Cyera Wins FedRAMP High "In Process" Status as Federal Agencies Scale AI
Cyera, an AI security platform, has achieved FedRAMP High "In Process" designation, marking progress toward full authorization to handle the government's most sensitive data. The company is now offering Cyera for Government, bringing its data security tools to federal agencies deploying AI at scale.
The designation reflects a shift in how government thinks about AI security. Federal agencies are no longer piloting AI systems-they're rolling them out across operations. That changes what needs protecting.
The Problem: AI Accessing Sensitive Data
The security challenge has moved beyond securing systems to securing what those systems can reach. AI agents and employees constantly access, copy, and move sensitive data across networks and cloud environments. In government, financial services, and healthcare, that creates real risk.
Lamont Orange, Chief Trust Officer at Cyera, said: "Federal agencies aren't experimenting with AI anymore, they're scaling it. That changes the security problem. It's no longer just about systems, it's about the data those systems can access and use."
What Cyera for Government Does
The platform automatically discovers and classifies sensitive data across hybrid environments. Teams get visibility into what data exists, where it lives, and how it's being used-including by AI agents.
Cyera for Government was built to meet FedRAMP High requirements from the start. It protects controlled unclassified information (CUI), enforces zero trust policies, and helps agencies comply with federal standards including OMB M-25-21 without slowing operations.
The tool lets agencies adopt AI tools like Microsoft Copilot while maintaining control over data and reducing risks from data sprawl and unauthorized AI use.
Why This Matters for Government Teams
FedRAMP High authorization means the system has passed the government's most demanding security review for handling sensitive data. "In Process" status means Cyera is working with a federal agency sponsor through that review process.
For government workers managing mission-critical data, the designation signals that the platform meets federal standards without requiring compromise on security or speed.
