In June 2016, CTERA earned a contract to provide a private cloud file sharing solution to the United States Department of Defense. As part of the agreement, CTERA and DISA (Defense Information Systems Agency) co-developed a mutual authentication technology using government-issued smart cards for additional layers of protection beyond the standard enterprise integration with Microsoft Active Directory servers.

In 2022, CTERA updated its Global File System, introducing enhanced capabilities for managing cloud storage, permanent data deletion, and other data protection features. The product was enhanced to includes new features such as cloud storage routing for more granular data management and control, as well as enterprise key management for cryptographic keys.{{cite web |last=McCarthy |first=Tim |title=Updates to Ctera global file system target regulated industries |url=https://www.techtarget.com/searchstorage/news/252528273/Updates-to-Ctera-global-file-system-target-regulated-industries |publisher=TechTarget |date=12 December 2022 |accessdate=25 March 2023}}
