Modernizing FedRAMP: A Practical Path to Faster Authorization in Under 90 Days for SaaS Providers Webinar

Wednesday, April 29, 2026 1:00pm-2:00pm EST   Virtual, ON24

The FedRAMP Program remains one of the most important and most challenging gateways for commercial software entering the federal market. In this session, we will provide an overview of how FedRAMP is evolving, including the structural hurdles that continue to slow adoption and the emerging opportunities for SaaS companies willing to engage early. We will then shift from policy to practice, sharing two real-world case studies from companies working with Knox Systems that achieved authorization on accelerated timelines – in under 90 days. Together, these examples illustrate how a modern, pre-authorized cloud environment can help reduce complexity, shorten paths to compliance and enable organizations to move from commercial readiness to federal deployment in months rather than years — offering a pragmatic blueprint for teams navigating FedRAMP today.
