FedRAMP 20x: Faster, More Secure Cloud Adoption
All event times are U.S. Eastern time
The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP), launched in 2011, continues to evolve as the cornerstone of cloud security for U.S. government agencies. FedRAMP provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services, grounded in NIST guidelines.
This timely virtual workshop will spotlight the FedRAMP 20x initiative, a transformative effort to streamline authorization, enhance automation, and expand secure cloud adoption across agencies. We’ll explore how FedRAMP 20x builds on recent policy updates—including M-24-15 and the FedRAMP Authorization Act—to support faster, more scalable modernization aligned with the AI Executive Order and broader digital transformation goals.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the implementation roadmap of FedRAMP 20x, including automation, reciprocity, and continuous monitoring enhancements
- Explore how FedRAMP 20x intersects with AI governance, Zero Trust, and FISMA compliance
- Clarify how FedRAMP and FISMA controls align to support agency risk management and cloud resilience
