Knox Speeds Up Government Software Security

Knox, a federal managed cloud provider, secured $6.5 million in seed funding to challenge Palantir in the government software market. The company helps software vendors quickly and cost-effectively achieve FedRAMP compliance—a rigorous security certification process for government software. This process typically takes three years and over $3 million, but Knox aims to complete it in three months at a significantly lower cost. This funding round, led by Felicis and Ridgeline, will support Knox's efforts to streamline FedRAMP compliance for government software companies. The investment highlights the significant market need for efficient and affordable solutions to navigate the complexities of federal security regulations.
