Hammerspace today announced support for FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography, enabling the Hammerspace Data Platform to be configured to meet the U.S. government standard for cryptographic security. This milestone positions Hammerspace to support deployments in federal, defense, healthcare, finance and other highly regulated environments. Integration into the Hammerspace Data Platform is planned for an upcoming release by the end of 2026.
By supporting FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography, Hammerspace meets key requirements for secure data protection in regulated environments and is advancing the integration of these capabilities into the Hammerspace Data Platform.
Security Enforced at the Data Layer for Consistent Control, Compliance and Data Sovereignty
Hammerspace delivers consistent, policy-driven orchestration, governance and protection across distributed environments, providing consistent control in multi-site and hybrid-cloud architectures. With the integration of FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography, the platform is designed to provide:
- End-to-End Encryption with FIPS-Validated Security: Support for encrypting data in-flight and at-rest using FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic modules, aligning with federal security requirements.
- Built-In Data Protection and Ransomware Resilience: Immutable snapshots, clones and WORM capabilities to enable rapid recovery and protect against unauthorized modification or deletion.
- Consistent Security Enforcement Across a Global Namespace: Centralized policy enforcement across the global namespace, ensuring consistent protection across sites, clouds and storage systems.
- Unified Access Controls Across Protocols and Environments: Consistent access policies across file and object data, spanning NFS, SMB and S3.
- Policy-Driven Data Governance Sovereignty and Orchestration: Metadata-driven data placement policies to control where data resides, how it moves and how it is used in real time.
The Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-3 is defined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and establishes stringent requirements for the design, implementation, and validation of cryptographic modules used to protect sensitive data. Validation requires independent testing by accredited laboratories and is mandatory for systems used by U.S. federal agencies and organizations operating under stringent compliance mandates.
