NIST FIPS 140, Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules, applies to technology products performing data encryption that the federal government purchases. Technology providers must obtain FIPS 140 certification that the cryptography in their products has been tested and approved for government use. As the U.S. federal government moves from FIPS 140-2 to FIPS 140-3, these providers must navigate evolving cryptographic validation requirements to maintain compliance and maintain eligibility for federal contracts.

This webinar will provide a concise, actionable roadmap for software, hardware and cybersecurity vendors who must update their encryption modules to meet the new standards.

We’ll cover:

• Key Differences Between FIPS 140-2 and 140-3 – Understanding the new validation criteria and security enhancements
• Compliance Timelines & Risks – Why failing to transition could mean losing eligibility for federal procurements
• Strategic Approaches to Migration – Best practices for testing, revalidation, and maintaining certification
• Common Pitfalls & How to Avoid Them – Lessons learned from organizations undergoing this transition

Join us for a deep dive into the FIPS 140-3 transition and ensure your encryption solutions remain viable in the federal market.
