There were some comments on Prince’s silence re: FedRAMP approval on the last call. Looks like it was just typical slow moving government. Today Cloudflare announced they have achieved moderate FedRAMP approval. Allowing easier & faster access to Cloudflare’s zero trust products inside Govt. Agencies.

While this is obviously good news for those of us who hold a position in NET, I find it a bit confusing as well. If anyone can briefly explain what the modifier “moderate” means and how this designation differs from whatever the alternatives might be I would appreciate the explanation.
