SAN MATEO, Calif., May 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Verkada, a leader in AI-powered physical security technology, today announced that the Verkada Command Platform hosted in AWS GovCloud has achieved Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP ®) Moderate Authorization. The U.S. Department of Energy served as Verkada's FedRAMP agency sponsor for the authorization.
"Federal agencies are responsible for protecting people and facilities across complex, distributed environments, and they need flexible, modern tools that are built to meet today's threats and scale with tomorrow's," said Jon Andersen, Federal Chief Information Security Officer at Verkada. "Achieving FedRAMP Moderate Authorization is an important milestone as we continue to modernize physical security infrastructure for organizations with stringent compliance and security standards."
Federal agencies and contractors can now leverage the Verkada Command Platform hosted in AWS GovCloud to manage their compatible physical security devices remotely, eliminate the need for on-premise infrastructure, and deploy AI-powered analytics at scale.
Using Verkada's government-grade platform, public sector organizations can deploy supported product lines, including:
- Video security with FIPS 140-validated cameras
