Wraithwatch, an AI cyber defence company founded by veterans of SpaceX, Anduril, Palantir, and Joint Special Operations Command, has achieved Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Class D (High) Certification. It earned the certification on November 3, 2026, in partnership with Knox Systems, which runs the largest managed federal cloud. Federal agencies can now deploy Wraithwatch's platform, which uses swarms of AI workers to build a continuously updated digital twin of their networks. Analysts can query it in natural language to hunt threats, assess compliance, and predict attacker moves. The company says three-day threat hunts now take under 15 minutes, and six-week authority to operate (ATO) assessments take under 30 minutes. "Cyber defence is moving away from human-led actions at human speed to machine-led actions at machine speed," said chief executive officer Nik Seetharaman.

Wraithwatch, an AI cyber defence company founded by veterans of JSOC, Palantir, SpaceX and Anduril, has secured a $30 million federal contract to deploy its autonomous cyber defence platform across multiple US government agencies. The Austin-based startup's system continuously models networks, computes attack paths in real time and deploys defensive mitigations at machine speed using AI agents that identify and neutralise cyber threats. The platform creates a digital twin of an organisation's environment to help security teams understand imminent network threats. Founded in 2023, Wraithwatch serves federal government and Fortune 500 customers. CEO Nik Seetharaman said the company provides defensive counterpressure against the growing threat of AI-powered offensive attacks, as frontier AI capabilities enable recursive self-improvement and exploit discovery.
