Virtualitics has achieved Impact Level 5 and 6 Authority to Operate for its AI-native readiness platform.
With these authorizations, the Department of War can use Virtualitics and its suite of AI readiness applications while meeting the security requirements across each impact level.
IL5 supports work involving Controlled Unclassified Information and National Security Systems workloads at the unclassified level, and IL6 supports classified information and workloads operating on Secret networks.
“Few commercial AI SaaS platforms have achieved an IL6 authorization because the bar is exceptionally high,” said Kyle Tobener, chief information security officer at Virtualitics.
“It requires significant technical rigor, security expertise, and operational maturity. Achieving IL5 and IL6 reflects a long-term investment in the strength and security of our platform, creating a hardened foundation that enables customers to securely bring classified data, approved defense systems, and leading AI models together for mission-critical readiness analysis. Achieving that standard positions Virtualitics to deliver trusted AI at scale across some of the Department of War’s most complex and consequential readiness missions.”
Virtualitics’ AI-native readiness platform is one of a limited number of commercial AI SaaS products to achieve IL6 authorization, and it was achieved in nine months. Both authorizations expand Virtualitics’ ability to operate across approved government systems in unclassified and Secret-level environments, the company said.
“Attaining IL5 and IL6 expands access to our AI-native readiness platform across a broader range of missions, from unclassified environments processing CUI to Secret-level operations,” said Justin Gantenberg, chief engineer at Virtualitics.
“The authorizations provide the secure environment needed to bring trusted, explainable AI closer to the point of decision while maintaining the security requirements classified readiness missions demand. It enables leaders to securely combine mission data and advanced AI so trusted insights reach decision-makers faster, where they can have the greatest impact on readiness outcomes.”
Virtualitics can help security teams unify data across classified and existing defense systems to provide a more holistic view of readiness while maintaining classified security requirements. The platform is built for readiness missions, allowing leaders to engage directly with readiness data and evaluate trusted recommendations within existing mission workflows.
Virtualitics is now operationally deployed across every U.S. military service, the company said.
