Based on the draft guidance OMB published recently to modernize the FedRAMP cloud security authorization program, it appears the practice of enlisting vendors to build government-specific cloud enclaves could be a thing of the past.

Joining The Daily Scoop Podcast to discuss that change, other details from the new FedRAMP guidance and much more is Jeanette Manfra, Global Director, Risk and Compliance at Google Cloud and former Assistant Secretary for Cybersecurity and Communications at the Department of Homeland Security.
