Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP)

The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is a U.S. government initiative that standardizes how federal agencies assess, authorize, and monitor cloud services for security. It ensures that cloud providers meet specific security requirements, making it easier for agencies to adopt cloud technology safely. By streamlining the authorization process, FedRAMP helps reduce costs and improve efficiency, while maintaining a high level of security for sensitive government data. Essentially, it helps build trust between the government and cloud service providers, promoting secure and reliable cloud solutions for federal agencies.
