Why FIPS Setups Fail:
Containers, Crypto
Libraries, & Runtime Pitfalls

Many organizations assume that installing a FIPS-capable cryptographic library or running a “FIPS-ready” container is enough to meet compliance requirements. In reality, FIPS 140-3 compliance depends on the entire operating environment – including the kernel, system cryptographic libraries, container architecture, and application runtimes.

Misunderstanding how FIPS validation works can lead to systems that appear compliant but fail under audit. Issues like bolt-on cryptography, containers running on non-compliant host kernels, or runtimes that bypass system crypto policies can all break compliance.

During this webinar, you will discover:

Why many “FIPS-compliant” systems fail security and compliance audits.
What FIPS 140-3 actually validates – and why the operating environment matters.
How containers, host kernels, and system cryptographic policies affect compliance.
How application runtimes behave in FIPS environments and the pitfalls developers must avoid.
