Modernizing RMF: Automation, Efficiency, and the Future of Federal Cybersecurity

In a recent episode of The Government Huddle, host Brian Chidester welcomes Peter O’Donoghue (CTO, Tyto Athene) and Gaurav “GP” Patel (Co-Founder, stackArmor) to explore why today’s Risk Management Framework (RMF) often slows down mission delivery, and how automation and lean engineering can accelerate secure innovation.

  • Automation in Action 
    • How stackArmor’s pre-integrated security controls slash ATO timelines by up to 60% 
    • Continuous monitoring pipelines that offload 30–50% of compliance labor 
    • Cost savings of 25–40% through vulnerability management & log review automation 
  • FedRAMP & DoD Initiatives 
    • GP breaks down the FedRAMP 20x Initiative and DoD RMF Reimagined RFI, showing how a focus on efficiency fueled nearly 100 new authorizations in six months. 
  • A Vision for Continuous Modernization 
    • Embedding quantum-resistant encryption and AI-driven risk indicators 
    • Shifting accountability to vendors through key security indicators (KSIs) 
    • Making compliance a “first citizen” in DevOps workflows 

Why It Matters 

Government agencies and contractors eager to deliver cutting-edge, AI-powered solutions will gain practical steps for preserving RMF’s proven controls plus one speed and agility for today’s mission demands.
