FedRAMP requirements include, as part of an organization’s security readiness, incident response capabilities that directly impact an organization’s ability to maintain authorization and protect sensitive government data. For security professionals operating in the federal cloud ecosystem, understanding the relationship between FedRAMP requirements and incident response planning is essential for both compliance and operational excellence.
Cybersecurity incidents aren’t what they used to be… they are actually much worse. The shift from isolated events to coordinated, multi-vector attacks has made it clear: if you’re running security operations across multiple clients, you need more than just solid tech. You need a framework that seamlessly brings together people, processes, and tools. Managing incidents… Read More
CMMC reshapes how defense contractors secure CUI. One of the most critical components of CMMC compliance is incident response (IR)—the ability to detect, respond to, and recover from cybersecurity incidents while meeting strict reporting and documentation requirements. Under the final CMMC rule, contractors at Level 2 and above must implement formalized IR policies, procedures, and… Read More
Artificial intelligence and machine learning are poised to redefine cybersecurity in 2025, due in no small part to the ease with which anyone can access them. While powerful tools for enhancing defense mechanisms, these technologies also present new challenges as adversaries increasingly leverage them for malicious purposes. In this article, we’ll explore AI and machine… Read More
An emergency vulnerability has emerged in Ivanti products and appliances, and it has sent many service providers, especially those in the federal space, in a rush to close their gaps and respond as best they can. This article covers the incident, the government’s response, and what it means for service providers.
In the unfortunate event that a breach occurs, organizations must have a plan in place to respond and recover. StateRAMP borrows requirements from FedRAMP and NIST 800-53 to define how exactly state and local governments can implement incident response into their overall security infrastructure.
