Manifest Secures FedRAMP High Authorization to Enhance Government Security Solutions

Manifest Achieves FedRAMP® High Authorization Through Palantir Technologies

In a significant development for both cybersecurity and software supply chain management, Manifest has recently announced its receipt of FedRAMP® High authorization. This milestone comes through its partnership with Palantir Technologies and its innovative FedStart program. The achievement indicates that Manifest can now offer its comprehensive Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) and Artificial Intelligence Bill of Materials (AIBOM) management platform to government agencies in a regulated, secure environment.

FedRAMP, or the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, is a government-wide program that standardizes security assessment and authorization for cloud products and services. The FedRAMP® High designation is particularly notable; it certifies that an organization is equipped to manage high-impact data, including sensitive information utilized by law enforcement, healthcare, and other mission-critical sectors. Therefore, this authorization positions Manifest as a trusted partner for government entities looking for advanced data management solutions.

Marc Frankel, the CEO of Manifest, expressed pride in this achievement, stating, "The ability to manage SBOM and AIBOM data in Manifest brings security and visibility into mission-critical applications and models. This authorization marks a significant step in our journey to support the federal government in securing software and AI supply chains."

The significance of this authorization is underscored further by the recent proliferation of cyberattacks and vulnerabilities that have targeted essential industries. Following the Log4Shell vulnerability that highlighted weaknesses in software supply chains, Manifest's mission has been to deliver quantified risks associated with software supply chains. With the added security of FedRAMP® High, the company can provide insights into the open-source and third-party software components incorporated in various applications.

Manifest's collaboration with Palantir Technologies played a vital role in achieving this authorization. Palantir's FedStart program was designed to expedite the delivery of secure solutions to federal agencies. Ali Monfre, the lead for the FedStart program at Palantir, stated, "It is extremely exciting to see Manifest achieve this milestone through our program, an affirmation of our mutual ongoing commitment to ensuring secure access to cutting-edge technology for the government users who need it."

With a proven track record of working with federal agencies including the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security, Manifest's FedRAMP® High authorization amplifies its capability to deliver enhanced software and AI security solutions within the public sector. This step not only consolidates Manifest's standing as a reputable data platform but also ensures responsive and effective service to government customers.

To foster further discussion on the topic, Manifest is set to host a webinar on February 4, 2025. During the event, they will address the challenges and solutions associated with delivering software supply chain security to government agencies. Interested parties are encouraged to register for this insightful session.
