Announcing the AWS GovCloud (US) Point of Presence for Carbon Black Cloud

Posted on September 19, 2022

Carbon Black Cloud has achieved Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) High Authorization and is available for customers in the AWS GovCloud (US) environment. These cloud services are designed to empower US government agencies and customers supporting the US government to migrate, manage, and operate sensitive workloads in the cloud.

What is different in the AWS GovCloud (US)?

The AWS GovCloud (US) is built on VMware’s Cloud Services Platform (CSP). Users and API keys are managed in VMware Cloud Services Platform instead of in Carbon Black Cloud.

Details are on the Authentication page.

Integrations

Existing integrations that only know how to use Carbon Black Cloud-managed API Keys are compatible with AWS GovCloud (US).
