Darkforce Assessed Awardable for Department of War Work in CDAO's Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Darkforce™, the U.S. federal subsidiary of Darkstrike®, today announced that its cyber and AI security platform has achieved Awardable status through the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office's (CDAO) Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace.

The Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace is designed to accelerate the procurement and adoption of AI, ML, digital, and data capabilities across the Department of War (DoW). Darkforce was recognized among a competitive field of applicants whose solutions demonstrated innovation, scalability, and potential impact on national security missions.

Darkforce addresses a fundamental challenge created by machine-speed cyber threats and AI. Trusted users, applications, systems, and AI agents can still initiate actions that should never occur. Rather than relying solely on access controls, policy engines, or detect-and-respond security, Darkforce evaluates actor intent and governs execution itself by using quantum-ready cryptography to determine whether protected actions are allowed to exist or execute.

Darkforce provides general-purpose execution control for computing itself, regardless of whether the actor is AI, human, application, or system. Its actor-agnostic architecture cryptographically governs actions initiated by internal or external threat actors, AI agents, LLMs, users, applications, and systems, while its data protection platform provides ransomware resilience and renders exfiltrated data unusable.

"Every cyber or AI threat eventually becomes an attempt to execute an action, making execution the ultimate control point," said David Granzotti, Founder and CEO of Darkforce. "Our approach is simple, instead of reacting to a cyberattack or waiting for an AI agent to undertake an unauthorized action, we control whether that attack or action is allowed to exist or execute. Being assessed Awardable through the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace gives government customers a faster path to evaluate and acquire our advanced capabilities."

About Darkforce

Backed by a patent portfolio and operated by former senior White House cybersecurity officials, Darkforce disrupts cyberattacks, neutralizes ransomware, renders stolen data useless, and blocks unauthorized actions across protected AI agents, applications, systems, and users. Darkforce is advancing toward FedRAMP High in partnership with Knox Systems.
