Reassessment demonstrates the company’s
evolving SSE portfolio is secure for use by Australian federal
entities
Skyhigh Security, a member of Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN), today
announced its Skyhigh Security Service Edge (SSE) Portfolio has
completed an updated Australian Information Security Registered
Assessors Program (IRAP) assessment to include Skyhigh Cloud
Firewall and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). The latest update
builds on past IRAP assessments in 2023 and 2020, validating that
the Skyhigh SSE Portfolio is up to date with current security
standards for collaboration with Australian government
agencies.
“We’re bringing the full stack of the Skyhigh SSE Portfolio to
the Australian market with this updated IRAP assessment that
encompasses our new firewall service and Oracle architecture,” said
Karthik Viswanathan, Vice President of Asia, Pacific and Japan,
Skyhigh Security. We’re continuing to invest in growth
opportunities in Australia to protect the highly sensitive data of
federal agencies for superior citizen outcomes.”
The IRAP Assessment is a security compliance framework designed
to help Australian federal entities, including police, military,
health, and government organizations, maintain security and manage
risks. The assessment process, as documented in the Australian
Government’s Information Security Manual (ISM), includes evaluating
cloud services providers against the security policies and
guidelines outlined by the Australian government. Successful
completion of the Cloud Security Assessment for the Skyhigh SSE
portfolio confirms the effectiveness of Skyhigh Security’s security
controls and policies.
In addition to IRAP, AV-TEST recently confirmed the high threat
protection efficacy of the SSE Portfolio. Skyhigh Cloud Access
Security Broker (CASB) and Skyhigh Secure Web Gateway (SWG) have
also been evaluated by the Federal Risk and Authorization
Management Program (FedRAMP), a U.S. government program that
evaluates cloud security vendors based on a standardized security
framework for cloud products and services. Lastly, Skyhigh CASB
achieved U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Provisional Authorization
to Operate at Impact Level 5 in 2022, reinforcing the clear
benefits of Skyhigh Security’s data-aware technology to government
organizations.
