BSA Senior Director Jessica Salmoiraghi Encouraged by FedRAMP20x Program and Industry Input
Inside Cybersecurity
By Sara Friedman
Jessica Salmoiraghi, senior director for IT modernization and procurement at the Business Software Alliance, spoke with Inside Cybersecurity on the challenges the program has experienced in recent years including delays in getting cloud service providers approved for agency use for up to two years.
BSA has been advocating for changes to the FedRAMP program since the Office of Management and Budget issued a memorandum in July 2024 making major adjustments to the cloud security initiative. The memo in response to FedRAMP Authorization Act from the fiscal 2023 National Defense Authorization Act, which formally codified the program.
Salmoiraghi said the memo eliminated FedRAMP’s Joint Authorization Board, which allowed CSPs to get their products approved without needing an agency sponsor through an authority to operate.
