Knox Systems Backs DoD's SWFT Push to Fast-Track Secure Software
WASHINGTON and NEW YORK, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Knox Systems, the company behind the largest and longest-running FedRAMP and DISA-authorized SaaS cloud in the federal market, is proud to support the Department of Defense's Software Fast Track (SWFT) initiative—an effort to transform how software is assessed, authorized, and deployed across defense missions. As one of the first participants, Knox submitted responses to all three SWFT RFIs—Tools, External Assessment Methodologies, and Automation & AI —outlining how its AI-native platform, KnoxAI, delivers real-time, mission-aware risk assessments and automates compliance at scale. KnoxAI is already operational and supports secure cloud environments for agencies including the U.S. Marine Corps, DCSA, and NRO, helping deliver faster, more rigorous paths to Authorization to Operate (ATO). It ingests SBOMs and telemetry, contextualizes vulnerabilities, and autogenerates POA&Ms and NIST-800 documentation—all at scale, with thousands of scans run. "The future of ATO is autonomous, continuous, and contextual," said Irina Denisenko, CEO of Knox Systems. "SWFT is a turning point for how we manage software risk in government. We're proud to contribute our experience and technology to help accelerate secure software to the mission edge." The launch of SWFT follows growing recognition that traditional authorization processes are too slow and brittle for today's software-driven landscape. At AFCEA and in recent public remarks, DoD CISO Katie Arrington emphasized that the goal of SWFT is to "remove the unnecessary bureaucracy and create a more streamlined, efficient way to do cybersecurity," enabling faster, safer deployment of commercial technology. Knox's contributions to SWFT reflect a decade-long track record of enabling secure government software—from powering Adobe's federal cloud to pioneering AI-native risk assessment for the DoD.

Advisory Board to Advance Secure AI Adoption in Government and Replace Legacy IT
WASHINGTON and NEW YORK, May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Knox Systems, the fastest way for SaaS vendors to deliver secure software to the U.S. government, has joined the Cloud Service Providers – Advisory Board (CSP-AB), a coalition of 19 of the world's top cloud innovators. This announcement comes at a critical inflection point: for the first time, both civilian agencies and the Department of Defense are adopting AI systems and large language models (LLMs) that connect to the internet—a significant shift from the historically airgapped environments that have defined secure government IT. As agencies accelerate their move from custom-built legacy systems to Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) solutions and connected AI tools, security has never been more vital. The CSP-AB brings together leading cloud providers to advance the policies, standards, and infrastructure necessary for secure, scalable cloud adoption across government. As a new member, Knox brings its unmatched experience operating the largest and longest-running FedRAMP- and DISA-authorized SaaS cloud in the federal marketplace, including Adobe's Federal Cloud. Knox's AI-powered platform enables SaaS vendors to achieve FedRAMP authorization in just 90 days—at 10% of the traditional cost—helping agencies rapidly adopt secure, mission-ready technologies. 'We're entering a new era,' said Irina Denisenko, CEO of Knox. 'The government is no longer just exploring AI—it's operationalizing it. LLMs that access the open internet raise unprecedented risks, and it's more urgent than ever to ensure SaaS platforms meet the highest security standards. CSP-AB is how we, as an industry, align with government to move fast and stay secure.' 'As AI becomes embedded in the fabric of mission systems, security and speed must go hand in hand' said Laura Navaratnam, Executive Director the CSP-AB. 'We're excited to welcome Knox to the CSP-AB and look forward to their contributions in shaping the next generation of cloud security policy.' With strong support from the current Administration for rapid software modernization and a shift toward COTS, the CSP-AB is serving as a key bridge between industry and government stakeholders. By joining this board, Knox will help shape future-proof compliance frameworks and enable a new wave of secure, AI-enabled cloud tools for defense, intelligence, and civilian agencies.
