ColorTokens Inc., vendor of enterprise microsegmentation and breach containment, unveiled a partnership with SMX, a partner to the U.S. federal government, to help agencies promote the adoption of Zero Trust protections across IT and operational technology (OT) environments.
Through the partnership, ColorTokens will utilize SMX’s Elevate platform to attain FedRAMP Moderate authorization for Xshield, its Zero Trust microsegmentation platform.
ColorTokens Xshield delivers agentless, software-defined microsegmentation that protects OT as well as critical infrastructure environments from lateral movement and cybersecurity.
By integrating Xshield’s fine-grained visibility and control with SMX’s Elevate FedRAMP solution, federal agencies can install and scale Zero Trust protections faster as well as more cost-effectively.
This startegic initiative supports the federal government’s mandate to implement Zero Trust architectures across information technology and OT environments, ensuring faster compliance and stronger mission assurance.
SMX’s Elevate platform is a comprehensive, turnkey solution for achieving and maintaining FedRAMP authorization. Elevate provides a safe, fully managed cloud environment, compliance automation, continuous monitoring, and a library of reusable security artifacts that dramatically reduce the time, cost, and complexity of FedRAMP accreditation.
Executive Statement
According to Jim Sutton, Vice President, ColorTokens Federal, Federal agencies can’t afford delays in securing operational technology networks from sophisticated threats. By teaming with SMX, they are not just accelerating their path to FedRAMP; they are giving agencies proven microsegmentation technology to stop lateral movement before it escalates into a breach and to protect the missions that matter most.
According to Peter LaMontagne, CEO of SMX, the federal government is demanding solutions that combine innovation with compliance at speed. Their partnership with ColorTokens exemplifies that model: Elevate removes the friction from FedRAMP and ongoing compliance, while Xshield delivers the Zero Trust protection agencies need to safeguard critical infrastructure.
