Introduction
In an era where cloud computing is becoming indispensable for federal agencies, ensuring robust security and compliance is paramount. stackArmor, a company under Tyto Athene, has stepped up to the challenge by partnering with Tenable Cloud Security and Carahsoft. The collaborative effort aims to drive FedRAMP compliance, enabling U.S. federal agencies to effectively secure their cloud infrastructures.
What is FedRAMP?
The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is a government-wide initiative designed to foster the adoption of secure cloud services across U.S. government agencies. It provides a standardized approach for the security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring of cloud technologies. By achieving FedRAMP compliance, cloud service providers reassure government entities regarding the safety and security of their operations.
stackArmor’s Role
stackArmor has proven to be a leader in security and compliance-focused cloud solutions. In April 2025, they played a crucial role in getting Tenable Cloud Security listed as an authorized cloud service offering in the FedRAMP marketplace. Gaurav "GP" Pal, Principal of stackArmor, stated, "Partnering with Tenable on their FedRAMP acceleration journey was pivotal. It allowed government agencies to confidently adopt high assurance cloud solutions."
This partnership highlights stackArmor's ThreatAlert® system, an integrated suite of security and compliance services meant to support clients like Tenable in achieving the rigorous demands set forth by FedRAMP.
Complete Solution with ThreatAlert®
stackArmor's ThreatAlert ATO Accelerator is a purpose-built General Support System (GSS). It provides a comprehensive framework for achieving FedRAMP compliance through in-boundary support. The platform facilitates commercial software providers in establishing secure architecture, managing documentation, and accessing audit support. It incorporates continuous monitoring automation, leveraging a distinctive zero trust architecture that guarantees complete control coverage within a FedRAMP-authorized AWS environment.
Collaboration with Carahsoft
Carahsoft, dubbed the Master Government Aggregator® for Tenable Cloud Security, is an essential partner in delivering these solutions to the public sector. Craig P. Abod, President of Carahsoft, emphasized the importance of stackArmor's expertise in aiding commercial cloud providers to navigate compliance challenges, thereby expediting their ability to supply innovative solutions to the government sector.
Agility in Agency Operations
Federal agencies are in a constant state of modernization, embracing cloud computing to bolster operational efficacy, enhance mission agility, and improve decision-making processes. However, as agencies shift toward hybrid and cloud environments, they face growing threats from sophisticated adversaries aiming to exploit vulnerabilities inherent in these architectures. These threats pose risks to vital government functions and sensitive data, which has led agencies to strengthen their defensive strategies.
Bob Huber, Chief Security Officer and President of Tenable Public Sector, noted how stackArmor's extensive solution and specialist knowledge were crucial for Tenable to secure their FedRAMP authorization. This milestone marks their solution as operationally ready to defend federal cloud environments by actively identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, unsecured identities, and exposure of sensitive data.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the partnership among stackArmor, Tenable, and Carahsoft is a significant advancement in the quest for secure and compliant cloud solutions for U.S. federal agencies. By facilitating FedRAMP compliance, this collaboration not only enhances security for government operations but also sets a precedent for future cloud technology integrations.
