This interactive session is designed to deliver deeper insights into the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP), a U.S. Federal Government-wide initiative intended to provide “a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services” to be used in support of Federal agency operations. The speakers will update attendees on current FedRAMP progress and ongoing initiatives, as well as a detailed review of the recently received provisional approval to operate (P-ATO) granted to Akamai Technologies. The Akamai approach is distinct among the others approved to date by FedRAMP—as it authorizes core cloud services to operate using Akamai’s highly distributed commercial network. While others are focused on government-only cloud environments, Akamai can offer government-wide accreditation and assurance to the defense and civilian agencies it serves. Plan to attend this session to build on your understanding of FedRAMP and the expanding cloud computing options available to agency professionals—regardless of mission or location.
