Knox Secures $6.5M to Challenge Palantir - Knox, a federal managed cloud provider founded by Irina Denisenko, raised $6.5M to expedite FedRAMP compliance for software vendors, aiming to cut the process from years to three months. Knox offers a compliance management platform to help SaaS vendors secure government contracts, running continuous tests to flag or remediate security issues for clients including Adobe and Class.
Naming Palantir as a competitor, Denisenko's mission is underscored by the need for outsourced compliance management as companies struggle to navigate FedRAMP alone. Knox's solutions validate the demand for efficient compliance processes, highlighting the company's role in assisting vendors in overcoming these challenges.
