Key Highlights

Knox Systems is now officially FedRAMP® High Listed, enabling secure SaaS and AI adoption for U.S. government agencies.
The listing allows vendors to achieve full authorization in just 90 days, bypassing traditional multi-year compliance timelines.
Knox integrates AI-driven compliance and real-time risk monitoring, ensuring resilience against evolving cyber threats.
With Knox, agencies gain the speed, guardrails, and security needed to deploy innovation without compliance delays.

Escalating cybersecurity threats are putting U.S. federal agencies at risk, as outdated infrastructure leaves mission-critical systems exposed to foreign attacks. Knox Systems’ recent achievement of FedRAMP High listing provides a secure and accelerated path for SaaS and AI platforms to serve the U.S. government.

Why is FedRAMP High listing a turning point for government IT modernization?

By eliminating the FedRAMP authorization bottleneck, Knox reduces compliance timelines from years to just 90 days - enabling agencies to adopt secure SaaS and AI solutions at the highest federal standards.

The stakes have never been higher. Last month’s breaches at the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and hundreds of other organizations reaffirmed the risks of relying on outdated systems. FedRAMP High establishes Knox as a trusted federal partner, delivering advanced compliance automation, AI-driven monitoring, and real-time threat defense. For government and DoD agencies, Knox transforms modernization from a long-term aspiration into an immediate reality, fast, cost-effective, and secure.

But, FedRAMP High isn’t just about compliance: it’s about enabling innovation at mission speed. By combining rigorous security with unmatched speed to authorization, Knox empowers agencies to modernize securely, defend against evolving threats, and deliver better outcomes for the public sector.
