FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program), the program 
that helps agencies migrate to the cloud securely, is making public the 
names of cloud service providers that are in the process of obtaining the 
government's security certification.

The information appears in a new FedRAMP resource section on the Federal 
CIO Council's cloud.cio.gov site. FedRAMP.gov visitors were redirected to 
the site beginning last week. The new site provides a range of materials 
that agencies and cloud providers need to meet FedRAMP requirements.

The new FedRAMP site identifies, among other information, 10 previously 
undisclosed ''cloud systems in process'' seeking FedRAMP certification for 
new or additional cloud infrastructure, platform, and software services. 
The site provides details on the services under review from CenturyLink 
Technology Solutions, Clear Government Solutions (CGS), Economic Systems, 
Fiberlink (a unit of IBM), Hewlett-Packard, Layered Tech Government 
Solutions, Microsoft, Oracle, SecureKey Technologies, and Virtustream. CA 
Technologies also is reportedly seeking FedRAMP certification.

FedRAMP has already certified 14 cloud services from 12 providers, 
including an Oracle PaaS offering approved on Feb. 24.
