- April 10 – Can I Put this Data in the Cloud? Should I?
- Companies are increasingly leveraging the “cloud” to augment, and even implement, their IT infrastructure. But the cloud comes with risks. As a government contractor, it is imperative that you understand the government’s rules for the use of the cloud, both when providing services directly to the government and when you’re using the cloud in your own IT systems to handle the government’s information. It is also important to understand that the requirements surrounding the use of the cloud are changing. To stay compliant, you need to keep up to date with these changes.
- In this 90-minute session, we will explore cybersecurity-related issues that accompany the use of the cloud and issues that are unique to Cloud Service Providers (CSPs). We will examine the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (“FedRAMP”) and the Department of Defense’s (“DoD”) January 2, 2024 memo regarding FedRAMP equivalency for contractor systems.
