Recent #ransomware warnings from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (#FBI) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (#CISA) show that simply backing up data is no longer enough to protect federal systems. #Federal agencies need to think beyond traditional backup strategies: network segmentation, rapid patching, and multi-factor authentication are just the start. What’s critical now? Building #CyberResilience with immutable backups, rigorous recovery testing, and a zero-trust, “assume #breach” mindset.

FedRAMP Targets June 2026 for Major Rule Consolidation FedRAMP plans to release a clean, consolidated set of rules by the end of June 2026, marking one of the biggest shifts in federal cloud security governance in years. What’s changing: • Single, consolidated rulebook covering all FedRAMP updates since March 2025 • Built around FedRAMP 20x, with heavier use of automation to speed cloud authorizations • Shift from Significant Change Requests (SCRs) to Significant Change Notifications (SCNs), removing the need for CSPs to seek permission just to improve services • Rules will remain valid through 2028, giving agencies and cloud providers long-term predictability • Ongoing Requests for Comment (RFCs) in early 2026 to fine-tune technical details This move reduces friction, accelerates innovation, and modernizes how federal agencies adopt secure cloud services without sacrificing risk management. For CSPs, compliance teams, and federal IT leaders, 2026 is shaping up to be a reset year for FedRAMP strategy. If you’re operating in GovCloud or federal SaaS, now is the time to prepare. #FedRAMP #GovTech #CloudSecurity #FederalIT #Compliance #SaaS #Cybersecurity https://lnkd.in/g78WYBWW

For those that don't know me, I spent a few years focused on cybersecurity recruitment, and although more recently I've been helping start ups and scale ups find great tech talent, cyber's always had a close place in my heart! So, I'm super excited to be partnering with Mycroft, Lionpeak Partners, and AnswerLayer to bring some great people to the table to share stories and provide insights about the risks that surface when AI adoption starts to challenge what's long been considered cybersecurity best practices. Event is happening on March 16, reach directly out to the Mycroft or Lionpeak team to reserve your spot! See you there :)
