Secure, Scalable, and FedRAMP Compliant: The Future of Federal Wireless Solutions

Federal agencies face the ongoing challenge of adapting their wireless infrastructure to evolving technology and security needs. As Cisco Meraki nears FedRAMP Moderate certification, Presidio Federal is ready to support agencies exploring potential wireless upgrades or new deployments.

Expanding Possibilities with FedRAMP Moderate Authorization

FedRAMP Moderate authorization is a significant milestone. It signifies that Cisco Meraki’s cloud services meet stringent security requirements for protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). This level of certification aligns with a wider range of federal use cases, making Meraki a versatile solution for various agency needs.
