Deltek, the leading global provider of software and solutions for project-based businesses, announced that it has achieved FedRAMP Moderate Ready status by the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP®) and is now listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace. Deltek Costpoint GCCM’s FedRAMP Moderate Ready status means that a FedRAMP recognized third-party assessment organization (3PAO) has validated Deltek Costpoint GCCM meets the security standards outlined by FedRAMP Moderate requirements and has been accepted by the FedRAMP PMO. Under DFARS 252.204-7012, government contractors are required to meet stringent security requirements for sensitive unclassified information. Contractors are also required to implement NIST 800-171 controls for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Additionally, contractors storing CUI in an external Cloud Service Provider (CSP), should ensure that the CSP meets security requirements equivalent to those established by the Government for the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Moderate baseline which is based upon NIST 800-53. With the recent publication of the Proposed

Keysight Technologies, Inc. has had a test tool validated for the FiRa 2.0 Certification release, covering physical layer (PHY) conformance testing. The latest FiRa PHY Technical and Test Specifications introduce enhancements to the performance and interoperability test requirements for ultra-wideband (UWB) device conformance tests.  UWB is a low energy radio technology used for high-bandwidth communications for high-precision ranging over a wide spectrum. In dense and challenging environments, UWB offers better performance in terms of precision, reliability, security, and power consumption than other communications technologies. The FiRa 2.0 Certification Program offers more rigorous testing for UWB device makers to enable compatibility and functionality across diverse applications, including smart homes, automotive systems, and industrial automation. To assist device makers with meeting the challenges of testing against FiRa 2.0 specifications, Keysight introduced support for FiRa 2.0 test cases in its UWB Test Solution. As a FiRa validated test tool for the new specifications, the UWB Test Solution
