CrowdStrike Achieves FedRAMP High Authorization for Federal XIoT and OT Security

Falcon for XIoT extends the FedRAMP High-authorized Falcon platform to protect federal mission-critical operational and connected systems

AUSTIN, Texas & WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fal.Con Gov 2026 -- CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) today announced that Falcon® for XIoT has achieved Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) High Authorization, expanding CrowdStrike’s protection to federal operational and connected infrastructure at the government's highest authorization baseline. Delivered through the FedRAMP High-authorized Falcon® platform in GovCloud, Falcon for XIoT protects the mission-critical systems that power national critical infrastructure.

“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,” said Michael Sentonas, president of CrowdStrike. “Falcon for XIoT extends the full FedRAMP High-authorized Falcon platform to the mission-critical systems agencies depend on, stopping breaches without disrupting operations.”

Securing the Systems That Power National Critical Infrastructure

Securing government operational and connected infrastructure is essential to national security. These environments present a distinct security challenge – assets are unmanaged, protocols are proprietary, and disrupting operations to deploy security controls is not an option.

Fragmented security tools create exploitable blind spots, leaving power grids, transportation systems, and medical devices vulnerable to attack. Falcon for XIoT closes these gaps by delivering native asset discovery, AI-driven risk prioritization, and real-time threat detection within the FedRAMP High-authorized Falcon platform, providing unified visibility and protection across federal environments from a single console without disrupting operations.

Key capabilities for federal agencies include:

• Zero-Touch Asset Discovery: Automatically identifies and inventories industrial assets across segmented networks without dedicated sensors, manual configuration, or intrusive scans, delivering instant visibility into previously unmanaged operational and connected systems without disrupting operations.
• Unified Protection Across Federal Systems: Eliminates security gaps between federal IT and operational systems, preventing lateral movement into mission-critical infrastructure.
• AI-Powered Risk Prioritization: Patented ExPRT.AI identifies and prioritizes high-risk vulnerabilities, exposures, and XIoT asset conditions so agencies can address the exposures most likely to be exploited before adversaries act.
• Integrated Threat Detection and Response for Operational and Connected Systems: Correlates operational and connected infrastructure telemetry with Falcon endpoint signals and threat intelligence to identify, investigate, and respond to threats across federal systems in real time without disrupting operations.
