“I’m honored to join the FSCAC and contribute to its mission of making federal cloud adoption more secure, scalable, and accessible,” said Adam Shnider. “Especially during this time of change with FedRAMP 20X, this committee provides an important forum for dialogue across the FedRAMP ecosystem, and I look forward to representing the interests of the community.”
