As federal agencies urgently seek to secure their artificial intelligence deployments and prepare for post-quantum cryptography, SandboxAQ has reached a critical compliance milestone. The company announced its AI-driven cybersecurity solution, AQtive Guard, has achieved Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Ready status. This designation provides a standardized, trusted pathway for government entities to adopt its security platform.

SandboxAQ's cybersecurity platform, AQtive Guard, is now FedRAMP Ready, enabling federal agency procurement.
The move addresses a major security gap where 79% of orgs run AI in production, but only 28% have completed a full AI risk assessment.
AQtive Guard focuses on securing AI agents and modernizing cryptographic defenses for the post-quantum era.
The platform provides visibility and remediation for vulnerabilities from weak encryption and non-human identities (NHIs).
FedRAMP Ready status offers a unified framework for federal buyers to evaluate the solution's security controls.
This milestone is part of a broader enterprise-readiness push, including new SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications.
The authorization comes amid heightened concerns over AI security within government. Recent data reveals that while 79% of organizations are already running AI in production, a mere 28% have performed a comprehensive risk assessment. This disparity highlights a significant vulnerability as agencies face threats from AI-enhanced cyberattacks and the exposure of secrets within AI systems. SandboxAQ's FedRAMP Ready status positions AQtive Guard as a vetted solution to close this security gap by enabling the safe, large-scale deployment of AI agents.
AQtive Guard supports federal IT modernization by providing automated cryptographic discovery and inventory across complex, multi-environment estates. The platform helps teams identify and prioritize cryptographic risks, a crucial function as agencies must plan their transition to post-quantum cryptographic standards. By offering cryptographic posture management and migration planning, the tool aims to reduce risk and strengthen long-term resilience against both current and future threats.
The FedRAMP Ready designation is more than a compliance checkbox; it serves as an independent, third-party assessment of standardized security controls aligned with the federal framework. For government buyers, this streamlines the evaluation process, allowing teams to move faster while meeting strict federal security requirements. With its listing in the FedRAMP Marketplace, agencies now have a clear and standardized path to procure and implement the solution.
Achieving FedRAMP Ready status marks a pivotal step for SandboxAQ in its mission to partner with the public sector. It underscores a commitment to providing the robust, framework-aligned security tools necessary for agencies to protect critical infrastructure and advance their missions confidently in an era defined by AI and quantum computing threats.
