AppDynamics, a part of Cisco, announced that its cloud-based application performance management platform has been authorized at the moderate impact level by the FedRAMP Program Management Office (PMO) to sell to government agencies.
The Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) is a United States Federal Government program that provides a security and risk assessment framework for cloud service providers (CSPs), enabling US government agencies to securely adopt cloud-based services as part of their ongoing digital transformation and innovation strategies. CSPs authorized by the PMO are required to undergo rigorous compliance checks to ensure they meet and maintain the strict security and data management standards of government agencies. These include:
- A security posture that diligently guards confidentiality, integrity and availability of data.
- Committed incident response resources and plan.
- Rigorous and ongoing security testing.
With this new authorization, AppDynamics can provide its cloud-based application performance management solution to government IT departments. Agencies can now deliver experiences to their constituents and internal users with visibility and insight into mission-critical applications. Digital transformation and cloud adoption initiatives can be accelerated to modernize government IT operations with confidence, saving time and resources typically spent on costly security assessments and managing on-premises deployments.
“This authorization comes during a global health crisis when we are reminded daily of the critical role government agencies play in serving the public through access to key resources and information,” said Ely Greenfield, CTO, AppDynamics. “With FedRAMP authorization, we’re proud to offer government agencies access to the leading application performance management solutions on the market, and ensure the delivery of critical digital services that support constituents across the United States.”
AppDynamics is now available on the FedRAMP marketplace.

Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...
Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...
For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...
New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...
Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...

In cloud-native systems, scaling is often as simple as moving a slider. For on-premise databases, the stakes are different. Over-provisioning hardware is expensive. Under-provisioning leads to performance bottlenecks that are difficult to fix once the equipment is in the rack ...
When most people think about cybersecurity, they picture firewalls, encryption, and access controls — technical tools designed to protect systems and data. But beneath the technology lies a deeper set of principles about trust, decision-making, and resilience ... The best leaders don't eliminate risk. They manage it intelligently. And in many ways, cybersecurity offers a surprisingly useful playbook for doing exactly that ...
Many organizations assumed their infrastructure strategy was settled. It had been implemented, optimized and built into long-term plans. Recent changes in technology and vendor consolidation are forcing a second look. Cloud outages and licensing changes have exposed how much dependency exists on a small number of platforms. As a result, organizations are reevaluating whether those decisions still hold up under current conditions ...
