Zoom for Government Platform Expands with Zoom AI Companion, Receives FedRAMP® JAB Authorization | 09.16.24

SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, Zoom Zoom Inc. has announced that the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP®) Joint Authorization Board (JAB) has authorized Zoom AI Companion as a JAB Moderate system, adding to Zoom for Government’s growing list of authorized products and further reinforcing the company’s commitment to the U.S. government space. Most recent, Zoom Contact Center also received FedRAMP® JAB certification in June 2024 as part of the Zoom for Government platform.

Now, U.S. federal agencies, state and local municipalities, and approved businesses and organizations supporting U.S. government missions with paid Zoom accounts can access a FedRAMP-authorized, secure AI offering, all within the familiar Zoom experience. Zoom for Government was initially authorized by FedRAMP in March 2019 and received collective JAB approval in July 2023.

Zoom AI Companion is built on a foundation of trust, security, and responsible AI, which is paramount to government agencies. AI Companion integrates seamlessly into the workday, enabling users to simplify their day by streamlining tasks through information synthesis, enhancing and optimizing capabilities, and increasing team effectiveness and efficiency.

“At Zoom, we’re committed to bringing Zoom products to market quickly by first understanding our customers’ needs for specific industry solutions,” said Matt Mandrgoc, head of U.S. Public Sector at Zoom. “Receiving this certification at a rapid pace further demonstrates our continued commitment to our U.S. government customers, and we look forward to adding new customer-focused solutions to the Zoom for Government platform in the future.”

What is FedRAMP?
The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP®) provides a standardized approach to security authorizations for Cloud Service Offerings. FedRAMP establishes a public-private partnership to foster innovation and advance more secure information technologies.

What is JAB?
JAB is comprised of CIOs and Authorizing Officials from the Department of Defense (DOD), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and General Services Administration (GSA). JAB selects approximately 12 cloud products per year to work with for a JAB Provisional Authority to Operate (P-ATO). A JAB P-ATO represents a “high water mark” from an assessment perspective.
