Established in 2011 by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) was designed to “safely accelerate the adoption of cloud computing products and services by federal agencies.” By providing a consistent and reusable authorization process, FedRAMP enables agencies throughout the U.S. government (USG) to avoid duplicating efforts while prioritizing security and efficiency. As federal agencies face increasing pressure from Executive Orders and rising cyber threats, today FedRAMP certification has become a critical enabler of modernization. It allows agencies to adopt innovative solutions that meet stringent security standards without sacrificing agility. In the latest Government Technology Insider podcast, host Lucas Hunsaker sat down with James Imanian, Senior Director of the U.S. Federal Technology Office at CyberArk, to explore how FedRAMP-certified solutions are driving modernization and enhancing security in government environments.
