Aikido Security Achieves FedRAMP Moderate Authorization Through Knox Systems Partnership

BOSTON and WASHINGTON, Oct. 5, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Aikido Security, a company behind self-securing software for modern development teams, has achieved Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Moderate Authorization in partnership with Knox Systems, the largest, longest-running federal managed cloud. This milestone accelerates the adoption of government-grade cloud solutions by U.S. federal agencies, enabling them to maintain, verify, and secure resilient software systems.

Through its partnership with Knox, Aikido Security was able to achieve this critical authorization in months rather than years. Knox's federal managed cloud provided Aikido with an expedited path that bypassed the traditional three-year, multi-million-dollar authorization cycle, positioning the company to deliver its platform to federal customers at unmatched speed and scale. This is a significant milestone for Aikido, as the company recently accelerated its U.S. expansion to further scale its footprint and deliver its security platform to new customers across the country.

Aikido Security's unified security platform secures code, cloud, and runtime environments, and pentests systems to uncover exploitable risk before attackers do. This includes protection against software supply chain attacks, securing developer devices, and addressing risks introduced by AI-generated code and threats increasingly targeting federal and enterprise systems alike. Aikido for Government is purpose-built for high-trust environments, and this authorization aligns with the company's priority to provide its customers with capabilities that meet the most stringent of compliance requirements.

Aikido Security, founded in Ghent, Belgium, is building self-securing software for modern development teams. The company's unified security platform secures code, cloud, and runtime, helping teams to reduce risk without slowing down development. Aikido is the fastest-ever European cybersecurity company to reach unicorn status and is trusted by over 100,000 teams, with a global customer base including Revolut, Kong, Specter Aerospace, Rollkall, Accela, and SoundCloud.

Knox Systems operates the largest managed federal cloud, trusted by top agencies and partners across defense and civilian sectors. Built for speed, resilience, and compliance, Knox delivers FedRAMP authorization in 90 days, turning the biggest bottleneck in government IT into the fastest path to modernization. Knox proudly serves Adobe, Celonis, OutSystems, Armis, BigID, and more AI and SaaS providers, accelerating secure innovation across the federal landscape.

By partnering with Knox, Aikido Security has positioned itself to support federal agencies in maintaining robust, cost-effective compliance and software resilience.

This partnership and authorization are significant steps for Aikido Security as it expands its presence in the U.S. market and continues to provide its security platform to new customers. With Knox's support, Aikido Security is well-positioned to deliver its platform to federal agencies at unmatched speed and scale, ensuring the security of their software systems.
