DISA maintains the Department of Defense Information Network Approved Products List (DoDIN APL) which contains a list of products that have completed DISA rigorous Cybersecurity and Interoperability certification process. In order to follow procurement requirements defined by the DoD and other departments, agencies may need to purchase only products that appear on the DoDIN APL. Nutanix’s AOS, AHV, and Files products are presently listed on the DODIN APL. The full DoDIN APL Listing can be viewed on the DISA DoDIN website (select “Nutanix” in the Vendor filter drop down list).

FIPS Certifications
The Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) is a joint effort between NIST in the United States and the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS), a branch of the Communications Security Establishment (CSE). The CMVP validates cryptographic modules to Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2, Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules, and other FIPS cryptography-based standards.
Federal Agencies in the United States and Canada may acquire active FIPS 140-2 cryptographic modules listed in the CMVP database of validated modules for the protection of sensitive information. FIPS 140-2 certification is required or recommended by many other nations as well as several industries, including Healthcare and Financial industries.
