Empowering federal agencies with a more secure and efficient developer experience

In the federal government, organizations face unique challenges in meeting strict security and compliance requirements. FedRAMP, IL4, and IL5 standards set forth rigorous guidelines to ensure the protection of sensitive data and systems. Google Cloud understands the importance of meeting these accreditation needs and provides a comprehensive suite of tools and capabilities to support federal agencies.

Security-first development with Google Cloud

Google Cloud offers a suite of developer tools to streamline your workflow and enhance security:

• Cloud Workstations: Enables secure, cloud-based workstations for remote work without compromising security.
• Gemini Code Assist: Provides AI-powered code completion and suggestions helping you write better code faster.
• Assured Open Source Software: Offers a curated catalog of audited and approved open-source software helping ensure compliance and security.
• Cloud Build: Uses automated build and deployment service which streamlines the development process and reduces the risk for errors.
• Artifact Registry: Provides secure storage and management of container images, making it easy to track and manage versions of software

The Google Cloud DevOps platform creates a strong foundation for a secure software supply chain by addressing various aspects of security throughout the development lifecycle. Powered by Cloud Workstations, Cloud Build, Artifact Registry, Google Kubernetes Engine and Cloud Run, this robust approach can help federal agencies protect their applications from supply chain attacks and ensure the integrity of their software.
