It’s not just the large agencies that are taking advantage of the cloud. The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program has seen great interest from smaller agencies that want to get cloud services approved for government use. The number of agencies involved in the FedRAMP authorizations has jumped to 135, 40 of which have been added in the past year.
