The Georgia Technology Authority (GTA) announced on Sept. 9 that the state will adopt GovRAMP as its primary framework for authorizing and continuously monitoring third-party cloud services. The new requirement goes into effect Oct. 1.

The North Carolina Department of Information Technology (NCDIT) has partnered with GovRAMP to adopt a unified security framework for cloud service providers working with state agencies.

As generative AI capabilities reshape cloud technologies, GovRAMP has launched a new AI Security Task Force aimed at strengthening cybersecurity and trust standards for AI-powered cloud solutions used by public sector organizations.

The cybersecurity nonprofit StateRAMP will transition to GovRAMP. The organization said the rebrand reflects its “ongoing mission to unify cybersecurity frameworks across all levels of government, including state, local, tribal, and educational institutions, while continuing to bridge the public and private sectors.”
