USX Cyber Announces FIPS-Compliant Remote Monitoring & Management Capability in GUARDIENT Platform to Support CMMC Clients

SUNBURY, Ohio, Oct. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- USX Cyber today announced the successful development of a FIPS-compliant Remote Monitoring & Management (RMM) capability within its flagship GUARDIENT platform, setting a new standard for cybersecurity and compliance support for organizations working toward CMMC Level 2 and above.

After rigorous testing, the new feature passed all 10 cryptographic checks with zero failures, including:

• Activation of the OpenSSL FIPS provider within the container
• Enforcement of Node.js crypto in FIPS mode
• Blocking of non-FIPS ciphers (e.g., RC4, MD5)
• Successful enforcement of TLS 1.2+ with AES-256-GCM
• AWS Application Load Balancer configured with the latest FIPS SSL policy
  

“For CMMC and other compliance frameworks, cryptographic assurance isn’t optional, it’s a requirement,” said Cole McKinley, Founder of USX Cyber. “By embedding FIPS compliance directly into our RMM capabilities, we’re giving small and mid-sized contractors the tools they need to reduce audit risk, safeguard-controlled data and accelerate certification readiness.”

The new capability directly supports contractors and businesses that must demonstrate compliance with NIST 800-171 and CMMC Level 2 cryptographic standards, providing a competitive edge in regulated industries such as defense, aerospace, and manufacturing.
