Lastwall IdP earns FedRAMP nod for quantum-ready Zero Trust

Lastwall has announced that its Identity Platform (IdP) has achieved FedRAMP Moderate Authorisation, permitting federal agencies and critical infrastructure providers to deploy quantum-resistant Zero Trust security.

The FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorisation Management Program) Moderate Authorisation is a significant validation that Lastwall's IdP meets the United States federal government's requirements for handling sensitive data. The designation comes at a time when cyber threats - including those driven by artificial intelligence and quantum-era advances - are intensifying and identity management is being positioned as a crucial line of defence.

Lastwall's Identity Platform is designed to proactively secure systems through advanced cryptographic agility, real-time threat response, and automated monitoring. The platform also supports streamlined identity governance for both cloud and hybrid environments, providing authentication and strengthening access control with the aim of supporting long-term mission success.

Karl Holmqvist, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Lastwall, said, "Securing digital identities is the foundation of any resilient cybersecurity strategy. With this authorisation, federal agencies can confidently deploy Lastwall's Identity Platform, knowing it meets the rigorous security and compliance requirements of the FedRAMP programme."

FedRAMP serves as the federal government's framework for assessing, authorising, and continuously monitoring cloud products and services. The Moderate Authorisation indicates that Lastwall's IdP has passed comprehensive security assessments and complies with strict controls necessary for the protection of sensitive information handled across government organisations.

The inclusion of Lastwall's solution on the FedRAMP Marketplace streamlines the procurement and implementation process for federal agencies and affiliated entities seeking compliant identity platforms. The platform is engineered for scalability and interoperability, and it can be rapidly deployed across diverse technological environments, including hybrid and cloud settings.

Lastwall's IdP is compatible with existing identity ecosystems and can integrate with current cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems. Among its features are authentication and risk-based access controls aimed at minimising identity-related vulnerabilities, cryptographic agility capable of meeting quantum-era security standards, and real-time monitoring combined with automated incident response features.

The company underscores the importance of identity as the contemporary frontline for cyber security as traditional perimeter protections become less effective. Lastwall positions its platform as enabling credential attack prevention, post-breach lateral movement mitigation, and protection against threats arising from advances in quantum computing - all while supporting a Zero Trust security stance and operational continuity for critical systems.

Lastwall has existing relationships with the US Department of Defense's Defense Innovation Unit and the Government of Canada, having been trusted by these organisations since 2017.

The capabilities of the platform are intended to help agencies and providers secure access, protect sensitive information, and maintain compliance amid a rapidly evolving threat environment. The company asserts that its IdP delivers authentication and access controls that support efforts to eliminate credential-based breaches while enabling scalability and future-proofing critical digital assets against emerging cyber risks.

With the new authorisation, Lastwall says federal agencies and key infrastructure operators can more easily meet current and forthcoming security requirements relating to identity management and quantum vulnerability mitigation.
