## Overview

As agencies move to the cloud, someone has to evaluate cloud services, run the authorization, and keep them compliant as the rules change. This program moves from cloud security fundamentals through the FedRAMP agency authorization process and package due diligence, and finishes with the transition to FedRAMP 20x under the Consolidated Rules for 2026. It aligns to FedRAMP, NIST SP 800-53, and the shared responsibility model, and is timed to the CR26 mandatory date of January 1, 2027.

Prepares you for: federal cloud authorization roles, and preparation toward the ISC2 CCSP and CSA CCSK.
