FedRAMP CR26 & 20x: What Federal Teams Need to Know About the Rev5 Transition (Webinar)

Broadcast on September 15, 2026

FedRAMP is moving toward a more continuous, evidence based approach to cloud security, bringing significant changes to the familiar Rev5 authorization model. For federal employees who are new to FedRAMP, or just beginning to encounter CR26 and FedRAMP 20x, the new terminology and processes can be difficult to navigate. This webinar breaks down the transition in practical terms. Attendees will see how the move from Rev5 authorization to 20x certification affects areas such as certification classes, system scope and boundaries, security documentation, and ongoing security validation. The session will also introduce several concepts central to the modernized approach, including Security Decision Records (SDRs), structured security data, Key Security Indicators (KSIs), and automated validation. Rather than examining each topic in depth, the webinar will show how these pieces fit together and why they matter to agencies and cloud service providers. Attendees will leave with a clearer picture of where FedRAMP is heading, how CR26 and 20x differ from the traditional Rev5 approach, and what their organizations should begin considering as they plan for transition. Key Takeaways Understand how FedRAMP is shifting from Rev5 authorization to 20x certification Identify what changes for certification classes, system scope, and security documentation Recognize the role of Security Decision Records, Key Security Indicators, and structured security data Understand how automated validation replaces traditional point in time assessment Know what agencies and cloud service providers should begin considering as they plan for transition

When Seeing (and Hearing) Isn't Believing: Defending Against AI-Powered Impersonation Scams (Webinar)

Broadcast on September 10, 2026

Generative AI has handed social engineers a powerful new toolkit, and federal employees are already targets. In July 2025, someone used cloned audio and text to impersonate Secretary of State Marco Rubio, contacting foreign ministers, a U.S. governor, and a sitting senator over Signal. The FBI has confirmed that impersonation of senior officials is an active, ongoing campaign. Government impersonation complaints nearly doubled in 2025, with reported losses topping $797 million. This 45-minute session gives you a plain language breakdown of what deepfakes, voice cloning, and AI-generated phishing text actually are, and how attackers combine them to make phishing, vishing, and smishing far more convincing than the scams of a year ago. We walk through the Rubio case in detail, from first contact to the tells that finally gave it away. Attendees will also test their own eye and ear. In a live "Real or Fake?" challenge, you will compare authentic archival footage with an AI-generated deepfake and vote on which is real before we reveal the answer and show you what to look and listen for. Most people get it wrong, which is exactly the point. Key Takeaways Understand what deepfakes, voice cloning, and AI-generated text actually are Recognize the verbal, visual, timing, and behavioral red flags of an impersonation attempt Apply a simple verify before you trust step before acting on any unusual request Know how to report a suspected incident internally and externally through IC3.gov Test your own detection skills against real and AI-generated audio and video

I never realized how much it (NLP) taught me and helped me grow professionally. It (NLP) taught me so much about working with employees and how to handle, let’s say “problem ones.” The contacts from the program have also benefited me in many ways.
