Knox Systems, the world’s largest Federal and DoW Managed Cloud and the leader in helping SaaS companies achieve FedRAMP authorization in as little as 90 days, announced it has standardized on the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform as a core component of its security architecture.
The decision reflects Knox’s philosophy of building its platform using best-in-class technologies at every layer of the stack. As Knox continues its rapid growth – now serving over 100 leading AI and enterprise software applications, achieving FedRAMP High authorization, and scaling to support an expanding portfolio of federal workloads – the company continues to invest in security technologies designed to protect mission-critical environments.
Knox’s security ethos is simple: “Protect the Fort.” Every platform decision is evaluated through that holistic lens, ensuring each piece of infrastructure powering government workloads is secured with industry-leading technology.
“At Knox, our customers trust us with their most sensitive production environments. That trust is earned by relentlessly investing in security,” said Irina Denisenko, Founder and CEO of Knox Systems. “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.

“Federal cloud environments demand security that can protect mission-critical workloads without slowing innovation,” said Karan Sondhi, CTO, Global Public Sector, CrowdStrike. “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.”
