Eightfold AI Achieves DISA IL4 Provisional Authorization

Eightfold AI, a leader in AI-powered talent intelligence, recently announced a significant achievement by securing the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) IL4 provisional authorization for its Talent Intelligence Platform. This milestone validates that Eightfold AI meets stringent security standards required for federal operations, thus reinforcing its position as a trusted solution for organizations that deal with Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).

The Eightfold Talent Intelligence Platform represents a groundbreaking approach, built on the industry's first AI-native infrastructure tailored for talent management. By leveraging a comprehensive billion-point talent dataset, it enables HR and business leaders to address pressing workforce challenges effectively and make informed strategic decisions.

Eightfold AI's solution is particularly valuable in the public sector, where it serves many of the largest state and federal organizations. Their AI-driven platform is transforming vital talent processes including recruitment, career development, and workforce planning. For instance, the Department of Defense (DoD) has implemented the Gig Eagle talent marketplace, which utilizes Eightfold AI technology to align military talent with mission requirements. This initiative allows DoD organizations to fulfill immediate operational needs by tapping into the specialized skills of the nation's Reserve and National Guard members.

In a statement highlighting the importance of this achievement, Varun Kacholia, Co-founder and CTO of Eightfold AI, remarked, “At a time when our nation’s workforce and security priorities are evolving rapidly, achieving DISA IL4 is a defining milestone. It allows us to support some of the most critical institutions in the country with AI that is not only powerful but trusted at the highest level.” Kacholia emphasized that this level of authorization empowers Eightfold AI to harness the capabilities of AI innovation to address one of the public sector's most urgent needs concerning talent.

The DISA IL4 provisional authorization confirms that the Eightfold AI platform adheres to the required security protocols necessary for defense-related projects. To earn this status, a cloud service provider must pass rigorous security evaluations that align with the DoD's strict requirements, along with securing FedRAMP Moderate baseline authorization. DISA meticulously assesses cloud solutions against the Security Requirements Guide's (SRG) IL4 criteria and grants provisional authorization only once compliance with these security measures has been verified.

Since its inception in 2016, Eightfold AI has been dedicated to the responsible application of AI, placing a high priority on security, compliance, and accessibility to safeguard data across all dimensions. The organization's security and governance practices are strategically designed to mitigate risk while ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of user data.
