Oracle Cloud broadens FedRAMP Approval

 Over 16 new services and features within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) have received FedRAMP certification, offering advanced AI, DevOps, and security functions to federal agencies and their partners. As a result, there are now 93 FedRAMP approved services accessible in Oracle's U.S. government regions for customer use.

Highlights of the new capabilities available at FedRAMP High in the U.S. Government Cloud include:

  • Network Firewall is an integrated, cloud native, managed firewall service built using next-generation technology from Palo Alto Networks.
  • DevOps service is a complete continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) platform for developers to simplify and automate their software development lifecycle.
  • AI Vision is an AI service for performing deep-learning–based image analysis at scale.
  • AI Forecasting delivers univariate and multivariate time-series forecasts through statistical, machine learning, and deep learning algorithms.
  • Data Safe empowers organizations to understand data sensitivity, evaluate data risks, mask sensitive data, implement and monitor security controls, assess user security, and monitor user activity—all in a single, unified console.
  • Big Data Service is a fully managed, automated cloud service that provides enterprises with a cost-effective Hadoop environment.

Oracle has also introduced nine new features to existing FedRAMP High approved cloud services.

“Adding these new services to our U.S. government cloud underscores our commitment to providing our government customers with comprehensive cloud services, and we will continue to use feedback from our customers to build new innovative solutions,” said Rand Waldron, vice president, Global Government Sector, Oracle. “Moreover, government agencies and the companies that support them can always use our government cloud regions at the same globally consistent price as our public cloud, enabling them to spend more of their resources on core mission needs.”
