Google has recently achieved a significant milestone with its Google Public Sector's cloud computing platform, Google Distributed Cloud, by obtaining the Defense Department's Impact Level 6 security accreditation. This allows Google's services to support a wide range of government data, from non-sensitive to highly classified, enhancing security in an increasingly complex digital landscape. The effort, spearheaded by CEO Karen Dahut, reflects three years of work aimed at strengthening Google's ties with government clients following past challenges, particularly after the contentious Maven project engagement in 2018.
"This authorization comes at a crucial time, as the digital landscape is becoming increasingly complex, and the need for robust security measures is growing more urgent," said Leigh Palmer.
"Google Public Sector is now able to provide DOD customers with a secure, compliant, and cutting-edge cloud environment at IL6, enabling them to leverage the full power of GDC for their most sensitive Secret classified data and applications," Leigh Palmer noted.
The latest accreditation represents the culmination of nearly three years' worth of work led by Google Public Sector Chief Executive Officer Karen Dahut.
Dahut was charged with building up the new business line, and she is unofficially the Google face perhaps most responsible for rebuilding the company's relationship with government.
