FIPS 140-2 is a U.S. government standard requiring cryptographic modules to meet strict security controls, essential for regulated industries and government contractors. While open-source cert-manager is widely used in Kubernetes, it is not FIPS compliant. CyberArk Certificate Manager for Kubernetes provides a hardened, FIPS 140-2 compliant distribution of cert-manager using BoringCrypto libraries, ensuring approved algorithms for RSA, ECDSA, and HMAC. It delivers observability, consistency, and vulnerability remediation across clusters, preventing risks from misconfigurations or self-signed certificates. With commercial support, long-term updates, and expert guidance, CyberArk enables enterprises to securely scale Kubernetes while meeting compliance mandates.
