Lineaje Launches Lineaje Federal to Address National Security Imperatives in Software Supply Chain

New federal-focused division delivers full-lifecycle autonomous software supply chain security for U.S. government and defense systems

RESTON, Va., Aug. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lineaje, the full-lifecycle software supply chain security company, today announced the launch of Lineaje Federal, a newly established and independently operated business entity focused on serving the U.S. public sector. Lineaje Federal will deliver purpose-built solutions to protect federal agencies' software supply chains, addressing the latest national cybersecurity priorities.

Gartner predicts that by the end of 2025, 45% of organizations worldwide will have experienced attacks on their software supply chains, marking a threefold increase since 2021. Recent incidents, such as the XZ Utils attack, which targeted open-source projects in federal systems, and the Ivanti breach, which forced CISA offline, underscore the growing threat to the public sector.

In response to this escalating risk, alongside rising software bill of materials (SBOM) compliance mandates and the rapid acceleration of AI, federal agencies need resilient software supply chains. Lineaje Federal offers deep software transparency, automated remediation, and verifiable trust across every software layer from source code to deployment.

"The Federal government is at a crossroads with its approach to secure software development. Nation-state adversaries have the will and ability to infiltrate and exploit software supply chains with the eventual goal of compromising sensitive networks,"  said Sarn G. Bien-Aime, CEO and founder, Asc3nd Technologies Group. "Lineaje Federal brings the right combination of people, technologies, and expertise to help technology leaders across the U.S. Federal Government identify, assess, and mitigate risks in the software supply chain. We're honored to collaborate with Lineaje Federal to ensure the government is delivering secure software at the speed of mission that is protected from constantly evolving threats."

The company has already begun to demonstrate its commitment to providing advanced, trustworthy, and resilient technology to protect the systems that keep the U.S. operating securely, including:

SBIR and STTR Phase I and II Contract: Lineaje was recently awarded a $1.8 million Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II contract by AFWERX, the Department of the Air Force (DAF) innovation arm. In 2024, Lineaje SBOM360 was also selected by DAF for an STTR Phase 1 contract.

Army ASA(ALT) Pilot Program:  Lineaje has been engaged for a pilot with the U.S. Army's Assistant Secretary for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology (ASA(ALT)) to enhance software supply chain security across defense acquisition platforms. The pilot leverages the Lineaje SBOM Manager to establish a reference architecture for centralized SBOM generation, risk analysis, and remediation workflows, directly supporting ASA(ALT)'s SBOM mandate. This collaboration demonstrates Lineaje Federal's strategic value to national security stakeholders. 

"The ASA(ALT) pilot and recent SBIR award served as key catalysts for the creation of Lineaje Federal, reinforcing the need for dedicated resources, tailored capabilities, and a focused strategy to meet the unique security and compliance demands of U.S. federal agencies," said Anand Revashetti, CTO, Co-Founder of Lineaje. "The pilot is more than a proof of concept; it's a potential blueprint for how the Department of Defense can operationalize software supply chain risk management at scale. By enabling the Army to centrally generate, manage, and act on SBOM data, we're not only helping fulfill critical policy mandates but also laying the foundation for trusted, repeatable processes that other agencies can adopt."

Shaping Federal Standards Through Active Participation: The Lineaje Federal team plays a key role in shaping federal cybersecurity policy through active involvement in government working groups, including CISA's SBOM Working Groups and the AIBOM Tiger Team, helping define the future of software transparency and AI security at the national level.

Solutions for Federal-Grade Security and Compliance: Lineaje Federal's solutions are engineered to meet rigorous federal requirements, including NIST SSDF, Zero Trust, and C-SCRM standards. The platform is deployable across cloud and air-gapped environments, ensuring secure and compliant operations.

"As threat actors seek to penetrate the software that runs our national defenses and exploit sensitive data, securing it becomes not just critical, it's urgent. This is why we launched Lineaje Federal," said Javed Hasan, CEO and Co-founder of Lineaje and Lineaje Federal. "With this launch, we will continue to grow our federal team, deepen existing partnerships with government integrators, and invest in long-term innovation."
