FedRAMP 20x: Cloud Approval in Weeks, Not Eons!
FedRAMP 20x is set to revolutionize cloud service authorization with automation, aiming to speed up the process from months to weeks. By ditching tedious checklists and sponsor requirements for simple services, the General Services Administration hopes to modernize federal cloud security and let agencies determine their own risk posture.
Hot Take:
Looks like the GSA is finally saying goodbye to FedRAMP’s red tape and hello to automation! With FedRAMP 20x, they’re fast-tracking cloud service authorizations like it’s a Black Friday sale, minus the chaos. It’s about time Uncle Sam embraced the robot uprising for something other than world domination.
Key Points:
- FedRAMP 20x introduces automation to accelerate cloud service authorizations.
- GSA aims to replace manual compliance with automated validation for 80% of security requirements.
- Providers of “simple, low-impact service offerings” no longer need a federal sponsor.
- No timeline yet for phasing out existing guidelines, but updates to new baselines are inevitable.
- Industry input will be gathered in working groups before the formal comment period.
