Knox Systems Expands FedRAMP High Footprint with 18th ATO from Tennessee Valley Authority — Knox Systems, Inc.

Event summary

Knox Systems secured its 18th Authorization to Operate (ATO) with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) for its FedRAMP High Landing Zone.
The Knox Landing Zone provides a pre-authorized cloud environment for commercial SaaS and AI companies to deploy applications without rebuilding federal security infrastructure.
Knox's Landing Zones now span FedRAMP Moderate, FedRAMP High, DISA Impact Level 4, and Impact Level 5.
The company recently launched the industry's first GovRAMP Accelerator for state and local government.

The big picture

Knox Systems' latest ATO with TVA underscores the growing demand for streamlined, pre-authorized cloud environments in government IT. The company's model addresses a critical bottleneck in federal technology adoption by allowing agencies to inherit security controls rather than rebuild them for each new application. This trend reflects broader industry shifts toward shared security frameworks and accelerated modernization efforts across public sector technology.
