Digi International announced a major advancement in device security with the validation of FIPS 140-3 cryptographic modules across its portfolio of solutions based on the Digi Accelerated Linux (DAL) operating system: Digi EX, IX and TX Cellular Routers, Digi Connect IT Console Servers, Digi Connect EZ Serial Device and Terminal Servers, Digi AnywhereUSB USB Over IP. With this milestone, Digi becomes the first provider of cellular connectivity solutions to achieve FIPS 140-3 validation without specialized SKUs, setting a new benchmark for secure wireless infrastructure. This latest achievement builds on Digi?s prior FIPS 140-2 validation and reinforces its commitment to delivering the highest levels of security for mission-critical applications.
FIPS 140-3, the newest standard from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), introduces enhanced requirements for cryptographic modules, including stronger security controls, improved testing rigor, and alignment with modern cybersecurity threats. Digi?s FIPS 140-3 validated implementation is integrated across its industry-leading portfolio of cellular routers and infrastructure devices powered by DAL OS, enabling customers to meet the most stringent government and regulated industry requirements for data protection, encryption and authentication. FIPS 140-3 validation is required for federal agencies, government contractors, and organizations operating in highly regulated sectors such as healthcare, finance and public safety, where protecting sensitive data is essential.
By delivering FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography, Digi enables organizations to deploy secure connectivity solutions with confidence in environments where compliance, resilience and trust are paramount. Digi has successfully completed validation under the NIST Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP), ensuring compliance with the latest FIPS 140-3 standard. Built on modern cryptographic frameworks aligned with current NIST guidance, delivering enhanced protection against evolving cyber threats.
FIPS 140-3 validation is available across Digi?s DAL OS-based portfolio, including Enterprise (EX), Industrial (IX) and Transportation (TX) cellular routers, as well as infrastructure and connectivity solutions, extending the broad coverage previously achieved under FIPS 140-2. As with previous implementations, FIPS functionality can be enabled through simple configuration, minimizing complexity and eliminating the need for specialized product variants. Aligns customers with the latest federal security requirements as FIPS 140-2 approaches sunset, ensuring long-term compliance and investment protection. Digi?s FIPS 140-3 validated solutions are designed to support a wide range of critical applications, including: Government and defense communications, Public safety and emergency services, Transportation and smart infrastructure, Utilities and energy, Healthcare and financial services.
By combining advanced cryptographic security with Digi Remote Manager for centralized device management, Digi continues to deliver a comprehensive, secure-by-design IoT connectivity platform. FIPS 140-3 validation is now available across Digi?s DAL OS-based solutions through firmware updates and new product shipments.
