Accelerating Innovation for the Department of Defense with Secure Open Source Solutions
Rancher Government is an active and trusted partner to the Department of Defense (DOD), delivering innovative, secure-by-default, cloud-native Kubernetes and container solutions that support the critical missions of the U.S. Government and military.
Rancher Government's inclusion in the DOD Enterprise Software Initiative (ESI) DevSecOps Phase II SEWP Marketplace, underscores this commitment to security, providing an efficient vehicle for the DOD to accelerate the adoption and deployment of our robust, secure, cloud-native technologies. By design, Rancher Government solutions offer comprehensive, built-in security features to ensure mission success in even the most sensitive environments.
Innovating Everywhere Your Mission Takes You
Delivering Mission Success at the Edge
Rather than retrofitting tools to work in an edge environment, Rancher Government solutions are built for the edge from the start. We believe in continuously improving the user experience, which includes allowing DevSecOps teams to deploy full Kubernetes capabilities in smaller footprints wherever the mission takes them.
Zero-Trust Container Protection
Zero-trust security should not only detect and alert security teams to anomalies, but also preemptively block attacks in real-time, before they can penetrating your software stack. Learn how our NeuVector Government platform is modernizing agencies from reactionary security to preventative zero-trust container protection.
Secure Supply Chain Delivery & Validation
Validating security and compliance within the Kubernetes ecosystem is often complex to navigate. Rancher Government Carbide was developed to address these challenges by providing users the ability to validate and verify software, run vulnerability scanning, and access SBOMs in order to easily and reliably prove they are from Rancher.
Your Strategic Partner for Mission Success
With increased demand for a more agile, modern IT environment, agencies continue to face challenges including integrating legacy systems, mastering Kubernetes, computing at the tactical edge, maintaining security, and upholding stringent compliance—all while driving innovation.
To successfully implement a modern, scalable, mission-based application within a government environment, agencies need a strategic partner to ensure every operation is secure, optimized, and perfectly aligned with mission objectives.
