Knox Systems Chooses CrowdStrike for Enhanced Cloud Security

In a significant move for cybersecurity in federal operations, Knox Systems has announced its standardization on the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform. This decision comes as the demand for secure cloud solutions surges, particularly in government sectors. As the world's largest Federal and DoW Managed Cloud, Knox Systems aims to fortify its security architecture to keep pace with its rapid growth and the increasing complexity of federal workloads.

A Step Towards Enhanced Security

Knox Systems is recognized as a leader in assisting Software as a Service (SaaS) companies in achieving FedRAMP authorization within an impressive timeframe of just 90 days. The integration of CrowdStrike's Falcon platform is aimed at protecting the platform's expanding base of customers, which now includes over 100 leading AI and enterprise software applications.

The implementation of CrowdStrike reflects a broader philosophy at Knox: to build a robust platform utilizing top-tier technologies at every level. Knox's approach to security is encapsulated in the motto, "Protect the Fort." Each decision made regarding the infrastructure is carefully evaluated through this lens, ensuring that resources dedicated to government workloads are backed by industry-leading security technology.

Irina Denisenko, the Founder and CEO of Knox Systems, emphasized the importance of security in maintaining customer trust. She stated, "At Knox, our customers trust us with their most sensitive production environments. That trust is earned by relentlessly investing in security. As we continue to grow, we're doubling down on a simple philosophy: use the best security in the world to protect the infrastructure that protects our customers. CrowdStrike Falcon is a clear answer to achieve that goal."

Accelerating Innovation and Compliance

The cloud offerings from Knox enable FedRAMP Moderate, FedRAMP High, and DISA Impact Level environments. This structure allows commercial software companies to introduce innovations to the U.S. Government much more swiftly than traditional authorization processes allow. As a result, Knox has become the go-to platform for some of Silicon Valley's fastest-growing software companies eager to penetrate the federal market, all while ensuring uncompromised security and compliance.

Karan Sondhi, the Chief Technology Officer of the Global Public Sector at CrowdStrike, echoed the critical need for robust security in federal cloud environments. He stated, "Federal cloud environments demand security that can protect mission-critical workloads without slowing innovation. Knox is helping commercial technology companies bring innovation to the U.S. Government faster, and we’re proud that the Falcon platform is a core part of the security architecture powering that mission."

Ongoing Commitment to Security

Adopting CrowdStrike is a facet of Knox Systems' broader strategy aimed at consistently enhancing the security posture of its managed cloud platform. This not only allows Knox to safeguard its operational framework but also enables its customers to benefit from enterprise-grade security capabilities as they strive for federal authorizations.

Knox Systems, trusted by numerous governmental agencies across both defense and civilian sectors, assures a focus on speed, resilience, and compliance in its service delivery model. The expedited FedRAMP authorization process, which has been a significant pain point in government IT, now serves as a gateway to modernization thanks to Knox's innovative approach.

The firm proudly serves notable organizations such as Adobe, Celonis, OutSystems, Armis, BigID, and many others, fueling secure innovation throughout the federal landscape. As cybersecurity becomes increasingly crucial, Knox Systems' partnership with CrowdStrike demonstrates its commitment to setting the benchmark for security and operational excellence in federal cloud solutions.
