Knox Systems Secures 18th ATO with Tennessee Valley Authority

Knox Systems operates on a premise that government agencies should inherit security protocols rather than rebuild them for every new vendor. By deploying applications into the pre-hardened Knox Landing Zone, providers can access federal customers without the burden of launching standalone, individually authorized government clouds. Hemant Baidwan, Executive CISO of Knox Systems, noted that this model prevents the inefficient cycle of authorizing identical infrastructure for every piece of commercial technology.

The Knox ecosystem now spans FedRAMP Moderate and High baselines, alongside DISA Impact Levels 4 and 5. This latest authorization adds to a portfolio that already supports major software providers such as Adobe and Armis. By maintaining continuous monitoring and infrastructure controls, Knox aims to compress what is typically a prolonged compliance cycle into a 90-day window, facilitating faster technology adoption across civilian and defense sectors.
