Darkforce says it submitted FedRAMP High package through Knox Systems
Darkforce says it has filed a FedRAMP High package through Knox Systems for In-Process designation as it seeks access to U.S. government and defense customers.
Darkforce says it has submitted a FedRAMP High package through Knox Systems for In-Process designation as it seeks to offer its cybersecurity and AI safety platform to U.S. government, defense and national security customers.
The Sept. 1, 2026, release says the company’s platform is intended to provide a security layer at the point of execution, including when credentials are valid, perimeter defenses are bypassed or AI systems try to act outside authorized boundaries. The company says the system is designed to disrupt cyberattacks, unauthorized AI and autonomous operations, ransomware, destructive actions and data exfiltration.
FedRAMP is the federal government’s program for assessing cloud security, and a High designation is used for systems that can handle the highest-impact data and workloads. Darkforce says the In-Process step is part of its effort to bring its product into federal environments, though the release does not say the package has been approved.
In the release, Darkforce is identified as the U.S. Federal subsidiary of Darkstrike. The company says it is building what it calls a quantum-ready cybersecurity and AI security platform for government use. It also says AI systems can invoke tools, access sensitive information and interact with critical systems, while AI-enabled adversaries can move faster than traditional detect-and-respond models were built to handle.
Chris Webber, identified in the release as CISO of Darkforce and former CISO for the White House, Executive Office of the President, said cybersecurity was built for a world where humans and systems operated at human speed and that AI changes that equation. David Granzotti, identified as founder and CEO of Darkstrike, said security has to move upstream and described the FedRAMP High In-Process step through Knox Systems as an important move toward bringing the capabilities into federal environments.
The release also says Darkforce uses quantum-ready cryptographic control at the point of execution. It says the platform is meant to assert control before an unauthorized decision becomes an action. The company did not provide a timeline for review or authorization.
The release includes a securities disclaimer saying it is informational only and not an offer or solicitation, and that any offering would comply with applicable securities laws, including Rule 506(c).
What happens next will depend on the federal review process and any follow-up disclosures from Darkforce, Darkstrike or Knox Systems. The release does not say when reviewers may act on the package.
