GSA FedRAMP director Matt Goodrich joins QTS's David McOmber, CSRA's Seth Abrams and host John Gilroy on this week's Federal Tech Talk to discuss how FedRAMP's ambitious new goals will help federal agencies transition to the cloud. March 28, 2017
Many agencies agree that cloud security services are an important part of their mission, but just how much to rely on those services is a question new administration officials will need to consider as they settle into their management roles.
Meet Jack and Zach. You may have seen them around in a variety of situations where Zach is happy and Jack is not. Why is that? Because Jack relies on aging, non-authorized infrastructure and service, that’s why! And while it might be funny to follow along with Jack and Zach’s exploits, here at Cisco we know that security is no laughing matter. We created Jack and Zach to get your attention about two major security concerns in the public sector: aging network infrastructure and non-FedRAMP-authorized cloud-based collaboration tools.
Federal News Radio received an early look at how the cloud security program known as the Federal Risk Authorization and Management Program (FedRAMP) plans to improve how it interacts with agencies and vendors next year.
Before agencies can adopt a new technology, the government must ensure that it meets their strict standards and is correctly deployed to maximize security.
Some federal IT managers say there are simply too many tools in the playing field and not enough governmentwide guidance to implement them quickly and easily.
FedRAMP is boasting increased authorizations and return business, and the new dashboard is making it easier for feds to use the program.
The Pentagon is developing a secure cloud computing architecture that will create a standard approach for boundary and application level security for commercial services.
The Commerce Department is trying to get ahead of the evolution of cybersecurity, including revamping and automating processes, evaluating upcoming technologies and creating an all-encompassing culture.
The Federal Risk Authorization Management Program is introducing two new tools this month to speed up and simplify the authorization process for cloud standards providers.
Now that high baseline for cloud security standards is finalized, the program looks to normalize the controls with the Defense Department’s security requirements guide under level 4 systems.
FedRAMP Accelerated aims to improve efficiency and transparency for parties on both sides of the authorization process.
Cloud computing is quickly changing almost every aspect of our lives. But for government agencies, it is often a struggle to keep up with the rapid pace of technology changes. The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is helping agencies chart their way, but they still need help. Fortunately, FedRAMP has arrived and is providing an efficient and affordable way to build long-term success in the cloud: Cisco® WebEx Web Conferencing, A FedRAMP-Authorized Service.
The Social Security Administration is updating its IT strategy so it can start taking advantage of the massive amounts of data it collects, and move toward data-driven decision-making.
