Why FedRAMP actually makes it harder for government agencies to move to the cloud

Read Original

This article argues that the FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) security framework, designed to streamline cloud adoption for US government agencies, instead creates a 'walled garden' favoring large, traditional contractors. It claims the process is overly bureaucratic, exclusive, and slows innovation, making it harder for agencies to adopt agile, low-cost cloud solutions and keep pace with the private sector.
