Today Kenny and Mike are talking to the one and only Jason Ford, CEO & Founder of Steel Patriot Partners—a true FedRAMP guru who's been securing systems since digital transformation was still a baby.

Use roles, not regrets. - The Future of Security Compliance – Automation, AI, and why FedRAMP is about to change everything.   If you're serious about building a security-first organization, tackling FedRAMP without losing your mind, or just figuring out how to keep your systems locked down like a fortress, this episode is for you.   Learn more about Paramify here: https://www.paramify.com/ Learn more about Steel Patriot Partners here: https://www.steelpatriotpartners.com/
