Behind the Shield- Episode 11
What does FedRAMP look like from the assessor’s seat?
In this episode of Behind the Shield, host Gary Daemer sits down with Christian Baer, Technical Fellow at Schellman, to unpack what FedRAMP 20X really means from the inside of the assessment process.
Christian shares first-hand insight into:
• How automation is reshaping federal security assessments
• The shift from point-in-time audits to continuous validation
• Why KSIs and real-time visibility matter more than endless screenshots
• The balance between risk, context, and compliance in modern cloud environments
• What CSPs should expect as FedRAMP, Rev 5, and 20X continue to evolve
From exceptions and vulnerability prioritization to red-yellow-green security posture views, this conversation explores how assessors, CSPs, and agencies can move faster without sacrificing security.
If you work in federal cloud, compliance, cybersecurity, or GRC, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
