Let’s start with the fundamentals: What is Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)? ARP is a vital networking protocol that ensures effective communication between devices on a local-area network (LAN). Its primary function is to map IP addresses to MAC addresses, allowing devices to recognize and communicate with each other within the network. ARP bridges the gap between the logical layer (IP addresses) and the physical layer (MAC addresses).

FedRAMP is a key part of maintaining the digital security of the federal government, by way of enforcing security rules across departments and the cloud service providers that work with them. Any CSP that wishes to work with a federal agency or department and handle controlled information needs to obtain an authority to operate (ATO) from the program management office. Part of that ATO is the continuous monitoring of the CSP’s systems to ensure ongoing security in a changing world.
