Case Study: a data analytics company achieves FedRAMP compliance with Canonical's Ubuntu Pro FIPS on AWS

Data analytics company unlocks effortless FedRAMP compliance with Ubuntu Pro FIPS on AWS

A US data science and analytics company needed to achieve FedRAMP compliance to serve its growing government client base, a process which required implementing FIPS 140-validated cryptographic modules. This manual process was a major barrier, as their existing vulnerability management was time-consuming and labor-intensive, making it difficult to meet strict remediation timelines. The company turned to its vendor, Canonical, for a solution using Ubuntu Pro FIPS on AWS.

Canonical's Ubuntu Pro FIPS on AWS provided the company with FIPS 140-certified modules out-of-the-box and automated security updates. This solution eliminated the need for manual validation and patching, allowing the company to achieve FedRAMP compliance effortlessly. The measurable impact was significant: automated updates from Canonical accelerated the company's vulnerability remediation process from up to two months down to just two weeks.
