Darktrace Federal has received its FedRAMP High ATO (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program High Authority to Operate) designation. This approval confirms that Darktrace Federal’s Cyber AI Mission Defense and Cyber AI Email Protection meet FedRAMP High security standards and have passed the required rigorous security assessments. This milestone enables faster adoption of AI-powered cybersecurity solutions for IT, OT, and email within U.S. federal agencies through secure cloud-native deployments.
FedRAMP is a U.S. government-wide program that promotes the adoption of secure cloud services across the federal government by providing a standardized approach to security and risk assessment for cloud technologies and federal agencies. Achieving the FedRAMP High ATO indicates that Darktrace Federal has achieved the highest standard for cloud security controls and can handle the U.S. federal government’s most sensitive, unclassified data in cloud environments.
“There has never been a more urgent need to bolster cybersecurity in the US federal government. An increasingly delicate geopolitical landscape combined with the growing use of AI by adversaries to enhance the speed, scale and success of attacks has created a complex threat environment,” said Marcus Fowler, CEO of Darktrace Federal. “Achieving our FedRAMP High ATO enables federal government customers access to Darktrace’s AI-driven IT, OT, and email security solutions designed to stop the most advanced near-peer adversaries, establish behavioral zero trust, and intelligently augment human security teams to ensure mission resilience across the federal government and critical infrastructure. We look forward to partnering with federal government customers to protect their technology infrastructure from cyber attacks in the era of AI.”
Defensive AI tools are now essential for defenders to stay one step ahead of these sophisticated threats. More than half (54%) of global government cybersecurity professionals surveyed in Darktrace’s 2025 State of AI Cybersecurity report that that they are seeing a significant impact from AI-powered cyber threats. However, the majority (89%) believe AI can help significantly improve their defensive capabilities.
Darktrace Federal products use Darktrace’s proven Self-Learning AI, which establishes an ecosystem-specific understanding of normal operational behavior in order to autonomously defend a customer’s environment, organization, and operations.
Darktrace Federal’s Cyber AI platform, consisting of Cyber AI Mission Defense and Cyber AI Email Protection, forms an adaptive knowledge of every device, user, peer group, network segment, and email communication, empowering federal agencies to defend their digital ecosystems against sophisticated threats including nation-state attacks, insider threats, zero-days, phishing attacks and more.
