Fed Gov Today Inside the FedRAMP Overhaul: Automation, Access & the Future of Cloud Security
Big changes are on the horizon for the FedRAMP cloud security program — and the reasons behind them are more than just procedural. Former Acting FedRAMP Director, Brian Conrad, joins Francis to break down what’s evolving, what’s staying the same, and why the ultimate goal is about delivering real security outcomes for federal data. Brian shares insights into the most common pain points industry partners faced under the old model — from finding an agency sponsor to navigating complex continuous monitoring requirements — and why upcoming automation efforts and direct authorization pathways could be game changers.
He also dives into the potential for AI, the importance of industry-government collaboration, and the role emerging initiatives like GovRAMP could play in harmonizing requirements across all levels of government.
