WASHINGTON — The U.S. Army’s Office of the Chief Information Officer launched Project Gatekeeper on Oct. 23, a DevSecOps platform and security evaluation sandbox designed to transform how the service tests, accredits and deploys commercial software. Project Gatekeeper, which comes online this afternoon, draws its authorization framework from the Army’s DevSecOps Platform, which provides a dedicated commercial-facing relay into the Army’s non-classified internet protocol router network ecosystem.

Project Gatekeeperreplaces operational bottlenecks with an automated, commercial-friendly intake pipeline that cuts evaluation cycles from months down to minutes while safeguarding our network perimeter.” For years, commercial software providers – particularly non-traditional defense vendors and small technology startups – faced significant friction when navigating the Army’s cybersecurity accreditation process. Obtaining an authority to operate, known as an ATO,…
