Enable FIPS compliance with Ubuntu Pro
Get easy access to FIPS 140-2 and FIPS 140-3 certified modules, required by U.S. federal standards. Run Ubuntu workloads in high-security environments on-prem, in the cloud, and at the edge. Enjoy 1-step access with an Ubuntu Pro subscription.
The benefits of FIPS for Ubuntu
Disruption-free crypto compliance
Deploy certified modules with one Ubuntu Pro command to enable FIPS mode for the whole system. Existing workloads can operate seamlessly in FIPS mode, as we provide FIPS compliance for your OS and any dependent applications on top.
Automated security patching included
Keeping up to date with the latest security patches is vital, especially in high-security environments. With the Ubuntu Pro subscription, you get up to 12 years of security maintenance for your Ubuntu systems. You can also automate patching at scale with Landscape, a fleet management tool included in Ubuntu Pro.
Enabling other compliance requirements
FIPS is often a prerequisite for wider compliance requirements including CMMC, FedRAMP, DISA STIG and others. With Ubuntu Pro, we enable the pieces you need to build a fully compliant environment. You get access to asset management and system hardening tools that enable easy audit and compliance automation for your entire fleet.
