U.S. Federal Agencies Can Now Secure Users and Data with Cloud-Native Zero Trust Access Management

Beyond Identity, a pioneer in access management with zero trust security, phishing-resistant MFA, and AI-powered identity defense, has achieved FedRAMP Moderate authorization through the SMX Elevate platform. This milestone allows U.S. federal agencies to adopt cloud-native identity and access management (IAM) solutions that meet the highest security and compliance standards.

The SMX Elevate platform streamlines the complex FedRAMP compliance process with an outcome-driven, technology-enabled approach, helping Beyond Identity attain authorization in just 100 days—significantly faster than traditional timelines.

Meeting Federal Zero Trust and Cybersecurity Mandates

With recent government directives such as OMB Memorandum M-22-09 and Executive Order 14028, federal agencies are required to implement Zero Trust principles and adopt phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication (MFA). Beyond Identity’s solutions directly align with these mandates by providing:

  • Phishing-resistant MFA
  • Continuous risk-based user authentication
  • Continuous device security compliance
  • Secure single sign-on (SSO)
  • Identity-based AI defense mechanisms

These capabilities enable agencies to achieve optimal maturity in the Device and Identity pillars outlined in CISA’s Zero Trust Maturity Model.

Accelerating Government Cybersecurity Transformation

With FedRAMP Moderate status, Beyond Identity offers a scalable, secure, and vendor-agnostic alternative to legacy access management systems. Federal agencies can now reduce identity-related attack surfaces while modernizing their cybersecurity infrastructure without being locked into a single vendor.

“Achieving FedRAMP Moderate through our partnership with SMX Elevate allows us to deliver advanced identity protection to federal agencies,” said Jasson Casey, CEO and co-founder of Beyond Identity. “Our cloud-native platform empowers agencies to adopt Zero Trust and phishing-resistant MFA, fulfilling urgent cybersecurity mandates while securing their digital environments at scale.”

“SMX Elevate enabled Beyond Identity to complete the FedRAMP certification in record time,” added Rob Groat, EVP at SMX. “Our expertise in cloud security and compliance ensures secure and efficient entry into the federal marketplace for partners like Beyond Identity.”

With FedRAMP Moderate authorization, Beyond Identity is poised to further expand its support for federal agencies, delivering modern identity solutions that align with the evolving cybersecurity landscape.
