For FedRAMP teams, the shift from FIPS 140-2 to FIPS 140-3 is more than a certificate refresh.

FIPS 140-3 introduces stricter expectations around cryptographic validation, entropy, module boundaries, algorithm lifecycle management, and ongoing compliance.

The risk? Many organizations assume that if they already use FIPS-validated cryptography, they’re covered. But in cloud-native environments, compliance can drift quickly through library updates, configuration changes, containerized deployments, or unclear ownership across teams.

Our latest blog breaks down what FedRAMP teams are missing in the transition from FIPS 140-2 to FIPS 140-3 — and why audit readiness requires more than “FIPS-capable” components.

Rust is becoming a go-to language for secure, high-performance infrastructure, but FIPS 140 compliance brings unique cryptographic challenges.

See how organizations can standardize validated cryptography in Rust applications using OpenSSL-based crates and SafeLogic’s CryptoComply Core:

The FIPS 140-2 sunset is approaching fast. After September 21, 2026, remaining FIPS 140-2 certificates move to the Historical list — and vendors without FIPS 140-3 validation could face procurement delays, stalled deals, and missed federal opportunities.

SafeLogic RapidCert offers a faster path forward.

See how RapidCert helps vendors move from validation uncertainty to FIPS 140-3 certificate ownership in just months, not years:

Quantum computing is reshaping the future of cryptography and organizations need a practical path forward.

SafeLogic’s new Cryptography Maturity Action Plan, or CMAP, helps teams assess their cryptographic posture, prioritize risk, and build a phased roadmap for post-quantum cryptography readiness.

Read the blog to learn how CMAP turns PQC uncertainty into action:

January 1, 2027 may be the most important date in the CNSA 2.0 timeline.

Why? Because that is when CNSA 2.0 compliance becomes mandatory for new National Security System acquisitions. For organizations with long procurement and delivery cycles, the work cannot wait until the deadline arrives.

In our latest blog, we look at why procurement is driving the post-quantum transition and what teams should be doing now to avoid day-one non-compliance.

For many vendors, the traditional FIPS 140 validation process is longer and more complex than expected.

Evgeny Gervis, SafeLogic CEO, walks through the typical path to validation, including consultants, lab testing, algorithm validation, CMVP review, and the time and cost pressures that come with the process.

SafeLogic helps organizations reduce the complexity, time, and cost of the traditional FIPS 140 validation process with a faster, more efficient path.

There is no single fixed list of “FIPS-approved” TLS cipher suites. Approval depends on whether the underlying components map to currently approved algorithms and that set changes over time.

TLS 1.3 makes cipher suites easier to parse, but compliance still depends on the details.

In our latest blog, we break down the TLS 1.3 cipher suites composed of approved algorithms, plus the key exchange and signature parameters teams should verify before approving a deployment.

Check it out:

This guide explains how TLS 1.3 cipher suites map to current FIPS-approved algorithms and which suites align with today’s requirements.

Federal agencies are being directed to prepare for post-quantum cryptography. The question now is how to operationalize that transition without disrupting mission systems.

Join SafeLogic and Carahsoft on May 15 for a discussion on PQC migration readiness, cryptographic inventory, risk prioritization, and crypto-agility across federal systems.

Node.js doesn’t enforce FIPS natively. Its cryptographic posture depends on OpenSSL, build configuration, and whether dependencies bypass the approved path.

How does FIPS 140-3 affect CMMC 2.0?

Evgeny Gervis, CEO of SafeLogic, explains why organizations need a plan now to transition from FIPS 140-2 to FIPS 140-3 ahead of the September 2026 deadline.
