FedRAMP 20x: Faster, More Secure Cloud Adoption

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
