Investing.com - CrowdStrike said Thursday it was granted a provisional authorization to operate at Impact Level 4 from the Defense Information Systems Agency, paving the way for the cybersecurity company to deploy its cybersecurity platform across a range of federal agencies.
Crowdstrike (NASDAQ:CRWD) was up more than 3% in after-market trading.
"This authorization will further CrowdStrike’s support to federal agencies in defending against modern cyber threats...," the company said. "Private-public sector collaboration is critical during these unprecedented times, and cybersecurity must remain paramount for both sectors into the future."
Looking ahead, the company said had been working toward securing a further security clearance. These authorizations aim to safeguard information when federal agencies use cloud products and services.
"CrowdStrike is proud to share that it has been working with DISA and our DoD (DODSF) sponsor towards a DoD Impact Level 5 (IL-5) P-ATO, and is committed to helping secure National Security Systems," the company added.
Impact Level 4 accommodates controlled unclassified information, while Impact Level 5 authorizes a cloud service to store and process the Pentagon’s most sensitive unclassified data.
