## FedRAMP Moderate Certification for Logs and Metrics

Many of you operate in highly regulated, federal environments, making it critical that you adopt—and trust—industry-standard security technologies. That’s why New Relic One, the world’s leading observability platform, achieved [FedRAMP certification](https://newrelic.com/blog/nerd-life/fedramp-authority-to-operate) at the FIPS 199 “Moderate” impact level in 2020. Logs and Metrics are now added to our long list of supported services! [Read the blog](https://newrelic.com/blog/nerdlog/fedramp-logs-metrics) and [learn more](https://onenr.io/0NgR70Kr0jo) about our FedRAMP Moderate certification for Logs and Metrics.
