FIPS 140-3

FIPS-compliant Talos Linux for highly regulated Kubernetes environments

Talos Linux brings cryptographic compliance to cloud-native Kubernetes — from rugged edge to high-compliance data center.

FIPS, the Federal Information Processing Standards, are standards developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and mandated by the US government to ensure cybersecurity for organizations handling sensitive but unclassified information.

Talos Linux is the highly secure, FIPS-compliant OS tailored for Kubernetes. It works seamlessly with Omni to provide organizations with powerful operational efficiency and unparalleled security.
