To implement a government-authorized environment, specific steps must be taken during the setup process:

  1. Onboarding: Use the cloud onboarding wizard to connect a Government Cloud Service Provider (CSP) environment to Cortex Cloud.

  2. Environment selection: During configuration, select the Government option in the Environment menu to ensure the tenant adheres to federal security standards.

  3. Scan mode: You can select Cloud Scan or Scan with Outpost.

    Note

    If you choose an outpost scan, you must select an outpost that has the environment type defined as Government to maintain compliance and connectivity.
