The U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency granted a one-year Department of Defense provisional authorization at Impact Level 5 for the CrowdStrike Falcon Platform. The CrowdStrike Falcon Platform is a DOD software-as-a-service hosted within the Amazon Web Service GovCloud.

The platform is comprised of the Cloud Service Provider Platform, which includes software agents installed on agency endpoints. The CrowdStrike Falcon Platform is categorized as having moderate confidentiality, moderate integrity, and a customer-defined availability system.

The platform operates in the cloud, which means information can be stored, shared, tracked, searched and archived online from any location at any time.

The DOD provisional authorization does not constitute an endorsement by DISA or the DOD of the suitability of the cloud service offering for any mission requirement.

Provisional authorizations are just one way the agency is helping the warfighter and mission partners access a range of service offerings they need to complete their missions. The authorizations are granted by the DOD - through DISA, to validate the assessment work completed by a third-party organization evaluating the service provider.

This CrowdStrike Falcon Platform DOD provisional authorization at Impact Level 5 expires June 1, 2024.
