CrowdStrike announced at the Fal.Con Gov 2026 conference that its Falcon for XIoT platform has achieved FedRAMP High Authorization, the highest level of security clearance for cloud services used by U.S. federal agencies.
This milestone expands Falcon for XIoT’s eligibility to sell to federal agencies that require the most stringent security controls, enabling protection of operational technology and industrial IoT devices in critical infrastructure such as power grids, transportation, and medical devices.
CrowdStrike has held FedRAMP authorization for its core Falcon platform since 2018, moving from Moderate to High Impact Level in March 2025. The new authorization for XIoT builds on that foundation and demonstrates the company’s commitment to securing mission‑critical systems.
President Michael Sentonas said, "Federal agencies are defending operational and connected systems that were never designed with security in mind, especially against adversaries who make critical infrastructure a primary target." He added, "Falcon for XIoT extends the full FedRAMP High‑authorized Falcon platform to the mission‑critical systems agencies depend on, stopping breaches without disrupting operations."
The authorization opens new revenue streams and strengthens CrowdStrike’s competitive position in the government cybersecurity market, supporting its broader strategy of expanding into government and critical infrastructure sectors.
