Cybersecurity standards are evolving to ensure that devices and data are secure. The FIPS 140-2 standard is designed to protect sensitive data in a range of applications.

What Is FIPS 140-2?

FIPS stands for “Federal Information Processing Standard." The current version, FIPS 140-2, has four security levels. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) developed the FIPS standard to help protect sensitive government information from hackers.
