FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program), the program

names of cloud service providers that are in the process of obtaining the
government's security certification.
The information appears in a new FedRAMP resource section on the Federal
CIO Council's cloud.cio.gov site. FedRAMP.gov visitors were redirected to
the site beginning last week. The new site provides a range of materials

The new FedRAMP site identifies, among other information, 10 previously

The site provides details on the services under review from CenturyLink

Technologies also is reportedly seeking FedRAMP certification.
FedRAMP has already certified 14 cloud services from 12 providers,
including an Oracle PaaS offering approved on Feb. 24.
