WASHINGTON, April 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Salesforce (NYSE:
CRM), the world's #1 CRM company and Intelligent Customer Success
Platform, today announced that the Defense Information Systems
Agency and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has granted
Salesforce Government Cloud a provisional authorization at Impact
Level 4 (IL4).
Agencies across all levels of government—federal, state and
local—have an incredible opportunity to modernize their technology
infrastructures to meet the needs of today's digitally savvy
citizens. By pivoting to meet these new demands, agencies are able
to open up new government services, while modernizing their IT
programs and saving taxpayer dollars.
Government Cloud Achieves IL4 Provisional
Authorization
Government Cloud gives departments, agencies
and contractors access to an intuitive user experience, a modern
component-based platform and a vibrant partner ecosystem, enabling
them to quickly build apps that connect agencies with citizens,
employees, partners and suppliers in new ways.
Achieving the IL4 provisional authorization enables the
aerospace and DoD sectors to rapidly and efficiently leverage the
Salesforce platform to deploy capabilities securely to all
stakeholders. This provides DoD mission owners and authorized
contractors the ability to utilize Government Cloud to manage
Controlled Unclassified Information, including Personal
Identifiable Information (PII) and Protected Health Information
(PHI). In addition, IL4 will enable agencies to:
- Compliantly leverage and build apps capable of managing
CUI/FOUO data.
- Control and monitor where and what actions are being taken on
data, as well as store and manage the events and monitoring data
per agency policy.
- Leverage role-based security and encryption to secure data
files and attachments while maintaining important application
functionality.
Comments on the News
- "The aerospace and defense sectors are ripe for
modernization—siloed systems and legacy technologies are hindering
their ability to innovate at scale," said Dave Rey, executive vice president, Public
Sector at Salesforce. "With IL4 provisional authorization for
Government Cloud, these sectors can now use the power of the
world's #1 CRM and cloud platform to transform into modern, mobile,
responsive and intelligent organizations, enabling employees to
connect with citizens and stakeholders in entirely new and powerful
ways."
