Xage Security is proud to announce that the Xage Cryptographic Module has achieved FIPS 140-3 validation, receiving Certificate #5229 from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cryptographic Module Validation Program. This certification marks an important milestone in Xage’s ongoing commitment to delivering strong, standards-based security for critical infrastructure, industrial operations, and enterprise environments.

FIPS 140-3 is the latest U.S. government standard for cryptographic module validation, introducing more rigorous requirements that reflect today’s evolving threat landscape. Certification requires extensive independent testing by accredited laboratories followed by formal review by NIST. By achieving this validation, Xage demonstrates that its cryptographic module meets stringent requirements for secure algorithm implementation, key management, system integrity, and operational assurance.

The Xage Cryptographic Module provides a trusted cryptographic foundation within the Xage Fabric platform. It enables secure communications, protects sensitive data, and supports identity-based security across distributed environments that span operational technology, information technology, and cloud systems. This foundation is essential for organizations that require both high performance and compliance in mission-critical deployments.

This achievement builds on Xage’s strong track record of security certifications. Xage previously received FIPS 140-2 validation. With the transition to FIPS 140-3, Xage continues to stay aligned with the latest federal standards and evolving compliance requirements, ensuring customers are prepared for the future.

For organizations in regulated industries such as energy, manufacturing, defense, and government, FIPS validation is often a critical requirement. With FIPS 140-3 certification, Xage customers can deploy solutions with confidence, knowing they meet modern security standards while supporting regulatory compliance and long-term resilience.

This certification reinforces Xage’s mission to secure the world’s most critical systems. By continuing to invest in advanced security capabilities and achieving leading certifications, Xage helps organizations strengthen their defenses and confidently operate in an increasingly complex threat environment.
