From inside FedRAMP, Johann breaks down common misconceptions, why CSPs underestimate the effort, what’s needed for FedRAMP 20X automation, and why agency adoption is critical.
The conversation also explores risk-based leadership, aligning security with mission goals, and why security must be a culture—not a checkbox.
