 Today, the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released [M-24-15, “Modernizing the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP)”](https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/M-24-15-Modernizing-the-Federal-Risk-and-Authorization-Management-Program.pdf) which establishes FedRAMP’s strategic goals and calls for significant shifts in FedRAMP operations to [accelerate](https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/briefing-room/2024/07/26/fact-sheet-omb-releases-fedramp-guidance-to-accelerate-the-secure-adoption-of-cloud-services/) agencies' secure adoption of cloud services. The guidance clearly positions FedRAMP as a security and risk management program, with a focus on significantly scaling the FedRAMP marketplace, and streamlining and automating more of the authorization process.  
 
 The updated policy further reinforces the priorities we highlighted in March in FedRAMP’s [public roadmap](https://www.fedramp.gov/assets/resources/documents/FedRAMP-Program-Roadmap-2024-2025-Public-Artifact.pdf), which has been driving the [recent work](https://www.fedramp.gov/2024-07-18-fedramps-roadmap-progress-one-quarter-in/) of the program.
