🛡️ Check Point has earned GovRAMP Authorization for the Check Point Infinity Platform for Government, extending its cloud security offering to U.S. federal, state, local, and tribal agencies. This follows its 2025 FedRAMP Authorization and is backed by prevention-first capabilities that ranked #1 in Miercom’s 2026 assessment. The authorization provides a vetted, consistent cybersecurity framework to support public-sector procurement and deployment. Organizations can expect unified protection with high effectiveness against phishing and AI-powered malware.

🚨 An internal late-2024 government report reviewed by ProPublica found that Microsoft’s Government Community Cloud High lacked “proper detailed security documentation,” leaving evaluators with “a lack of confidence” in assessing the platform. One reviewer called the package “a pile of shit.” Despite those findings, FedRAMP authorized the product with a buyer-beware notice, a decision that helped Microsoft expand a multibillion-dollar federal cloud business.

🔒 AWS VPC Encryption Controls is now available in AWS GovCloud (US-East) and GovCloud (US-West). The feature lets security teams enable monitoring and enforcement of encryption in transit across existing VPCs, automatically identifying flows that permit plaintext. It transparently activates hardware-based AES-256 encryption across VPC resources (including Fargate, NLB, and ALB) and produces audit logs to help demonstrate compliance with standards such as HIPAA, PCI DSS, FedRAMP, and FIPS 140-2.

🔒 CrowdStrike Falcon Platform for Government now includes Falcon for XIoT, delivering FedRAMP High–authorized visibility and protection for connected and operational technology assets. The solution provides native, zero‑touch XIoT asset discovery with deep protocol support and ICS vendor validation to preserve operational continuity across critical infrastructure. It also leverages AI-powered risk prioritization to surface and rank high‑risk conditions across converged IT/OT environments.

🚀 Gemini for Government packages Google’s Gemini models, secure commercial cloud services, and agentic AI tools into a FedRAMP High-authorized platform for the public sector. It is positioned to accelerate adoption of AI agents across defense, health, transportation, and research by offering enterprise-grade compliance and scalability. Early adopters include the Department of War’s GenAI.mil rollout, the FDA, and the Department of Transportation, and Google is offering webinars and downloadable agent toolkits to help agencies start building and deploying solutions today.

🤖 Google Public Sector summarizes a year of AI, cloud, and security milestones, spotlighting Gemini for Government, Vertex AI, and FedRAMP High authorizations for productivity and analytics offerings.
