Telos Corporation, a leading provider of cyber, cloud and enterprise security solutions for the world’s most security-conscious organizations, announced that its cyber risk management and compliance solution, Xacta, has been prioritized by the U. S. Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) to pursue a Provisional Authority to Operate (P-ATO) from the Joint Authorization Board (JAB).
According to the JAB Prioritization Criteria and FedRAMP Connect Guide, “FedRAMP may prioritize up to 12 cloud service offerings (CSOs) per year,” and that “the most important criteria for JAB prioritization is to demonstrate government-wide demand for the CSO.”
