She discusses why automation and continuous security monitoring are reshaping the authorization process, where agencies remain hesitant to embrace change, and how differing approaches across civilian agencies and the Department of Defense could complicate adoption. Dunne also explains why congressional reauthorization and stronger government-wide coordination will be critical to FedRAMP's future.
