Valid Eval needed Rails 7.1 and Ruby 3.4 to stay competitive on government contracts.

We upgraded their stack, hit 2-5x speedups on key endpoints, and resolved a Rails upgrade bug across 15-20 views in days, not weeks. Security improvements were a side effect, not an afterthought.

I'm trying to understand why I would choose a regular AWS endpoint over FIPS. I know why and when I have to use FIPS. Given that I have a subset of customers that require it, why not just use it for all customers? One would hope if the ciphers in FIPS are good enough for the government, they're good enough for regular use.

Don't wait for your 3PAO audit to find out you're non-compliant.
We've built a FedRAMP Requirements Checklist specifically for containerized environments. It covers:
โ€ข The new 30-day scanning window
โ€ข Hardened base image requirements
โ€ข Continuous Monitoring (ConMon) automation

"Weeks versus the more typical months."
That's how Cisco Umbrella accelerated their FedRAMP Agency ATO using Anchore on AWS.
By automating vulnerability scanning and utilizing our built-in FedRAMP policy packs, they tackled four compliance hurdles in parallel:
๐Ÿ”น FedRAMP
๐Ÿ”น STIG
๐Ÿ”น FIPS
๐Ÿ”น EO 14028
Check out the full case study to see how they did it. https://anchore.com/blog/how-cisco-umbrella-achieved-fedramp-compliance-in-weeks-blog/

In 2024, the industry learned what an SBOM was. In 2026, the Public Sector is demanding we use them effectively.
Under EO 14028, every container needs a clear pedigree. But managing thousands of SBOMs can become a data nightmare.
Anchore makes it seamless:
โœ… Automated generation (Syft)
โœ… Continuous vulnerability scanning (Grype)
โœ… Drift detection between build and runtime

Stop translating NIST 800-53 controls into manual checks. ๐Ÿ›‘
For teams deploying containers in Federal environments, compliance often feels like a bottleneck. It doesn't have to be.
Anchore Enterprise's FedRAMP Policy Packs automate the validation of your container images against NIST 800-53 Rev 5 and NIST 800-190 controls before they ever hit production.
