NEW YORK and WASHINGTON D.C. (RSAC 2026) – March 25, 2026 – Knox Systems (“Knox”), the largest federal AI-managed cloud provider, today announced from the 35th annual RSAC Conference it has won the 2026 SC Excellence Award for Best Compliance Solution. Knox’s mission is to give Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and artificial intelligence (AI) vendors the fastest, most cost‑effective path to Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) authorization, in order to ultimately accelerate government agencies’ access to secure, modern software essential for mission success.
The SC Awards are cybersecurity’s most prestigious award program, recognizing and honoring outstanding innovations, organizations, and leaders that are advancing the practice of information security. All told, the 2026 awards cycle drew 497 submissions across 33 categories. From emerging technologies to established market leaders, each entry was carefully reviewed by a distinguished panel of 39 judges, who volunteered their time and expertise to evaluate impact, innovation, and execution.
Knox helps SaaS and AI companies achieve FedRAMP, the strict security compliance needed to sell to the U.S. government, using an AI-driven cloud platform that drastically cuts the time and cost of authorization from years to as little as 90 days for 90% less, enabling rapid, secure adoption of SaaS and AI for federal agencies. The company offers "FedRAMP as a Service" with continuous monitoring, automated security controls, and compliance gap resolution, operating the largest managed federal cloud with high-level security listings like FedRAMP High.
“This recognition from the SC Awards underscores the critical role compliance plays in enabling secure, mission-ready government operations,” said Irina Denisenko, CEO at Knox Systems. “At Knox, we are focused on helping government agencies move beyond point-in-time compliance to continuous, real-time assurance - strengthening security, accelerating adoption of new technologies, and building lasting trust across the federal ecosystem.”
Traditional FedRAMP often costs $2-5 million up front with annual costs exceeding $1 million. Knox’s pre-authorized environment reduces first-year costs by 90% and significantly lowers ongoing expenses, making federal entry realistic for the majority of Enterprise SaaS. The U.S. Government spends $100 billion per year on software, but fewer than 500 SaaS applications are available for the U.S. Government, out of over 30,000 that are commercially available. Knox is actively closing the gap between industry innovation and secure government software adoption to ensure agencies and military operators get software at the speed and quality that missions demand.
