Key Highlights

Knox Systems was selected to demo KnoxAI, its AI-powered FedRAMP Auditor, at this month’s FedRAMP 20x working group.
In partnership with Adobe, Wiz, Drata, and Coalfire, KnoxAI validated evidence in under 90 minutes with no manual sampling or delays.
KnoxAI, which has been trained on 10+ years of audit data, automates control validation, maps to KSIs, and cuts manual effort by 100%.
Already deployed across the U.S. Navy, DHS, and the U.S. Treasury, KnoxAI is bringing true continuous monitoring into practice.
Knox is helping advance the future of FedRAMP by enabling autonomous, continuous compliance.

Continuous monitoring has long been the ambition of FedRAMP, but manual processes and delayed evidence collection have slowed progress. At this month’s FedRAMP 20x working group, Knox Systems demonstrated how KnoxAI is making continuous and automated compliance a reality today.

Why is KnoxAI’s demo at FedRAMP 20x significant?

It proves that control validation, evidence generation, and audit verification can all be automated. Knox AI removes manual bottlenecks and sets the foundation for continuous, automated monitoring across federal cloud environments.

As part of the Phase 1 pilot, Knox Systems scanned Adobe Connect’s infrastructure-as-code (IaC) with KnoxAI, generated machine-readable JSON evidence, and had it validated by Coalfire audit data: all in less than 90 minutes. Working alongside Wiz for live risk scanning and Drata for non-code controls, Knox showcased a fully autonomous workflow: no manual evidence pushes, no sampling, and no lag.

The implications are clear. By cutting manual compliance effort by 99.99%, KnoxAI redefines how agencies and vendors approach FedRAMP authorization and ongoing monitoring. Already in use across the U.S. Navy, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of the Treasury, KnoxAI is accelerating the government’s path to true continuous automated monitoring, aligning compliance with operational speed.

The FedRAMP 20x community is shaping the future of compliance, and KnoxAI is already delivering it. By combining automation, AI, and a decade of federal audit expertise, Knox is enabling agencies and vendors to meet the highest standards of security, without slowing down.
