Nozomi Networks announced on November 9, 2026 that Vantage for Government had achieved Moderate certification under the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP), giving federal agencies a certified cloud option for AI-assisted operational technology (OT) and Internet of Things (IoT) security.

The FedRAMP Marketplace lists the service as certified as of November 5, 2026 and places it in Ongoing Certification, the phase for steady-state continuous monitoring and reporting. Its profile uses the Revision 5 Agency path at Class C (Moderate), with software-as-a-service delivery in a Government Community Cloud.

The certification advances the platform from the In Process designation Nozomi announced on October 23, 2025. The Moderate designation addresses serious potential harm to an agency’s operations, assets or people if the confidentiality, integrity or availability of a cloud service is lost.

How AI Supports OT and IoT Security

Nozomi says Vantage for Government centralizes OT and IoT security-sensor management across environments that can also include information technology systems. Asset discovery draws on passive and active collection plus host-based data, then uses AI to enrich inventory information across wired, wireless and endpoint environments. The vulnerability workflow avoids intrusive scans and ranks remediation by exploitability and operational impact, intending to reduce the disruption and scanner noise associated with IT-centric tools.

In the marketplace’s vendor-submitted service description, which FedRAMP does not review or endorse, Nozomi describes detection that continuously inspects endpoint and network behavior, combining built-in rules with threat intelligence specific to OT and IoT. Its AI correlation ranks alerts for action. For industrial processes, deep packet inspection of OT and IoT protocols helps establish baselines from commands and telemetry, then flag deviations in process activity or device behavior. A separate AI engine suggests mitigation steps using operational context and established workflows, while risk scoring can be customized for assets, zones, sites and enterprises.

Federal Cloud Controls and Customer Duties

The service is hosted on AWS GovCloud, with sensitive production, maintenance and technical-support access restricted to U.S. persons or U.S. citizens. Nozomi’s compliance documentation specifies AWS GovCloud US-East for customer-data storage and processing and says no customer data is transmitted to or stored outside authorized federal cloud infrastructure.

Audit logs support security monitoring, incident response and compliance reporting, and authorized customers can export them to approved government security information and event management or log-aggregation systems. The government addendum places storage, processing, backups, logs and administrative access inside designated U.S. FedRAMP regions. It also commits Nozomi to continuous monitoring and reporting, FedRAMP-compliant incident reporting and prompt notice of material certification-status changes.

Customers retain their own operational duties: correct configuration, tenant user-access management, applicable Controlled Unclassified Information handling, external connections outside the authorized architecture and compliance with incident-reporting rules. Certification therefore does not remove the agency’s role in operating the service securely.

Third-Party Integration Scope

Nozomi’s announcement presents the government edition as feature-equivalent to the commercial platform and says it can bring third-party asset data and external files into one inventory.

The company’s product-comparison documentation qualifies that statement: its key-differences table says third-party integrations are not yet available in Vantage for Government and will be introduced in a future release. Another section of the same page lists integration with third-party security tools among shared capabilities, leaving the current integration scope less clearly defined than the parity language suggests.

For agencies considering the service, certification establishes a federal security and compliance baseline, but deployment fit still depends on customer-controlled configuration and access management and on how the government edition’s current integration scope aligns with existing security workflows.
