FIPS Compliant Kubernetes Operating System

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.

Our FIPS solutions are designed for:

Government agencies and contractors bound by NIST standards

Enterprises in healthcare and finance where compliance and data security are critical

Operations in defense and aerospace requiring verifiable, hardened infrastructure

Organizations pursuing federal contracts where FIPS compliance is a prerequisite

Sovereign cloud environments and/or countries that have data locality requirements

FIPS-compliant Talos Linux and Omni

Talos Linux is designed from the ground up as a secure, immutable, and minimal operating system for Kubernetes, centrally managed by Omni, a SaaS-simple platform for oversight and cluster creation. Together, Talos Linux and Omni provide a security foundation for high-security environments.

Organizations using FIPS-compliant Talos Linux build benefit:

Minimal footprint of < 50 binaries

Immutable, declarative, API-driven infrastructure

SBOMs, SELinux, Trusted Boot, and more

Stay FIPS-compliant wherever you deploy

Talos Linux is environment-agnostic. Run FIPS-compliant builds across rugged tactical edge, high-compliance data center, and bare metal. Self-host the Sidero stack, including Omni and the Image Factory for custom builds, to maintain control and oversight.
