Alteryx Designer-FIPS
Alteryx Designer-FIPS version 2022.1 was the first release of Designer that offers a FIPS 140-2 capable option for customers that require FIPS compliance. Please note that FIPS standards are developed by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for use by US government agencies and contractors. For more information about FIPS, go to the NIST FIPS FAQ page.
The general (non-FIPS) release version of Alteryx Designer is not FIPS capable. A separate release (and installer) is available under separate license terms, for our FIPS 140-2 customers.

FIPS 140-2 Certified Cryptographic Modules Used by Alteryx Designer
Notes
[1]: Alteryx found that these libraries contain some limited use of non-compliant cryptographic algorithms. We assert that the use of these 3rd-party libraries is not for any security-related purposes.
[2]: Alteryx does not have an option to have our build of OpenSSL 3.0.0 FIPS 140-2 certified, as CMVP is no longer accepting FIPS 140-2 submissions for new validation certificates. This means we will have to wait for OpenSSL FIPS Provider certification to be issued by NIST and will then transition to using the certified OpenSSL FIPS Provider, once it is available.
