Fast-Tracking FIPS, FedRAMP, and Zero Trust in Kubernetes

This whitepaper introduces three essential security concepts—FedRAMP, FIPS, and Zero Trust—that are rapidly becoming mandatory for any software provider engaging with the US government. For organizations deploying software on Kubernetes, Buoyant significantly accelerates FedRAMP and FIPS compliance by leveraging its industry-leading Linkerd service mesh. Linkerd functions as a transparent network layer that delivers FIPS-compliant encryption, zero-trust authentication, and even critical memory safety without requiring changes to the application code.
