Agencies are increasingly reusing authorized cloud services to help meet new telework demands during the coronavirus pandemic.

The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program saw a 50% increase in agencies reusing authorized cloud products in fiscal 2020, and agencies have made about 3,000 requests to evaluate cloud security products others are using, known as reusability requests, since March, said Ashley Mahan, director of FedRAMP.
