The Path to Low Authorization for Confluent Cloud via FedRAMP 20x

The FedRAMP 20x Pilot is an innovative program that uses a programmatic and automated approach to accelerate the authorization process for cloud services. This pilot has enabled us to engineer a system that will provide continuous, real-time reporting on our compliance standards directly to our Confluent Cloud for Government customers. This demonstrates our strong commitment to the evolving FedRAMP authorization process and to our public and private sector customers as we move into the next phase of Moderate and beyond.
