Darkforce Targets FedRAMP High Authorization via Knox Systems Alliance

The alliance focuses on scaling Darkforce’s platform, which utilizes cryptographic controls to neutralize ransomware and secure exfiltrated data. By integrating with Knox’s managed federal cloud, Darkforce intends to provide government agencies with a secure environment for autonomous systems and large language models. This move responds to the increasing velocity of cyberattacks, where traditional detect-and-respond tools often fail to prevent damage before unauthorized actions occur.

David Granzotti, CEO of Darkforce, noted that the partnership prioritizes proactive security, enabling agencies to assert control over AI decision-making processes. For its part, Knox Systems leverages a specialized compliance framework that targets a 90-day authorization window. Irina Denisenko, CEO of Knox, emphasized that the speed of the current threat landscape necessitates a departure from standard, slower compliance paths to ensure federal agencies can deploy defensive capabilities without delay.
