By Bob Blakley, Chief Product Officer, MimicWhen we founded Mimic, we set out to stop ransomware not by detecting it, but by moving faster than it can operate. Today, that mission takes a major step forward: Mimic is officially FedRAMP Ready.For those unfamiliar, FedRAMP (the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) is the U.S. government's gold standard for cloud security. “Ready” status is more than a checkbox—it means a third-party assessment has validated that Mimic meets the high bar required for federal systems, and we are now listed in the FedRAMP Marketplace.This moment matters for us—and for every federal agency facing the relentless speed of ransomware attacks.

Why FedRAMP Readiness Matters

Achieving FedRAMP Ready shows that Mimic’s platform meets the technical and operational safeguards required for federal procurement. But more than that, it signals that we are ready to deploy now in trusted, high-risk environments.We’ve always designed Mimic to handle what traditional defenses can’t:
- Ransomware that moves in seconds, leaving no time for human intervention.
- Threat actors using zero-days or living-off-the-land techniques that bypass EDR.
- The need to restore operations safely, even when backups exist but the attacker has persistence.
That’s why our platform doesn’t rely on detection alone—it responds autonomously and deterministically, securing applications the moment malicious activity begins and spinning up clean recovery environments in minutes.

Our Unique Approach to Ransomware Defense

Mimic was built on a simple principle: You can’t stop ransomware at human speed. So we engineered a platform that:
- Deflects ransomware pre-encryption
- Enforces application immutability, preserving systems in their safe, compliant state.
- Uses AI decoys to mislead attackers and buy time for responders.
- Enables recovery via Application Lifeboats—trusted, isolated instances ready to restore operations securely.
This makes Mimic not just a layer of protection—but a resilience framework, ensuring applications stay safe and operational even during a live ransomware event.What’s Next for Agencies and PartnersFedRAMP Ready opens the door for federal agencies, system integrators, and defense contractors to begin engaging with Mimic. We’re ready to support you with:If you’re part of a federal mission that can’t afford downtime, data loss, or ransom payouts—Mimic is here to help.

Final Thoughts: Resilience Is Readiness

Reaching FedRAMP Ready status isn’t the finish line—it’s a milestone in our larger mission to defend what matters. In a world where ransomware doesn’t wait, resilience must be instantaneous. That’s what Mimic delivers.We’re grateful to the assessors, partners, and public sector champions who helped us reach this point. We look forward to accelerating forward—toward Authorization, broader deployments, and a future where ransomware is no longer an inevitability.Let’s make ransomware irrelevant. Together.
