As we move into 2025, FedRAMP remains a cornerstone of security compliance for cloud service providers working with U.S. federal agencies. However, with evolving technologies, heightened cybersecurity threats, and increasing regulatory demands, organizations must refine their strategies to stay ahead. Below is a comprehensive and in-depth list of critical considerations for achieving and maintaining FedRAMP compliance in 2025 aimed at expert audiences.
The concept of “security by design” embodies this philosophy, emphasizing that security measures must be integrated into every stage of system development and operations. From cloud environments to software development, network configurations, and beyond, the goal is to preempt vulnerabilities rather than react to breaches.
This article explores security by design, why it matters, and how organizations can effectively implement it to protect their systems, data, and networks.
Endpoint security has become a critical focus in the cybersecurity strategies of organizations that handle CUI as part of the Defense Industrial Base. CMMC, a DoD-mandated framework, emphasizes robust endpoint protection as integral to meeting compliance and securing national security information. This article delves into the importance of endpoint security under CMMC, the specific control families from NIST SP 800-171 that address endpoint vulnerabilities, and practical measures organizations can adopt.
