Palo Alto, USA - June
23rd, 2014 – Addressing
the global cloud skills gap is the number one priority to help accelerate the
successful adoption of Cloud, according to the Cloud Credential Council. To
address the skills gap specifically related to FedRAMP, the Cloud Credential
Council has released an online course and exam for FedRAMP authored by leading government cloud
expert Kevin L. Jackson.
The Federal Risk and Authorization
Management Program (FedRAMP) is a government-wide program that provides a
standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous
monitoring for cloud products and services.
Federal Agencies, Third-Party
Assessment Organizations (3PAO), Cloud Service Providers (CSP) all need to have
deep knowledge about FedRAMP. As of June 5th 2014 it is a
requirement for CSPs to be #FedRAMP compliant. There are many organizations that
are not yet FedRamp compliant, primarily caused by the lack of knowledge around the processes, requirements and value
of FedRAMP compliancy. The Cloud Credential Council is addressing this crucial gap
with a new certification course developed together with leading Government
Cloud expert Kevin L. Jackson, CEO & Founder of
GovCloud Network.
Marcel Heilijgers,
Executive Director of the Cloud Credential Council said: “Kevin L. Jackson’s deep
knowledge of FedRAMP, combined with his vast government cloud experience gained
through senior positions at SENTEL, JP Morgan Chase, IBM, NJVC and
collaboration with organizations such as GSA, NIST,
DHS, DOD, NSA, OMB, and the Federal CIO Council, ensures that we have the best expertise
in place to address this crucial topic.”
According to Kevin L.
Jackson, author of the certification course: “This course will help executives
understand the processes, requirements and value of FedRAMP certification.
Given the mandatory nature of FedRAMP this certification is a must-have for all
government and industry IT executives.”
A description can be
found here: http://www.cloudcredential.org/certifications/efc/. The course and exam
can be taken anywhere, anytime across the globe and is available starting today
at: http://www.cloudcredential.org/cloud-store/. Besides this online
certification course specific to FedRAMP, general CCC Professional
certification courses released and due for release this year such as CCC
Professional Cloud Solutions Architect and CCC Professional Cloud Security
Manager will also include FedRAMP as one of the topics. Training partners and
Trainers/Instructors interested in adopting the Professional tracks are
encouraged to contact the Cloud Credential Council for accreditation.
