Kaixin Lin, Consultant for the Climate and Environment Programme at the United Nations Global Compact, remarked, “The ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact span the domains of environment, human rights, labor, and anti-corruption. Over time, these principles have evolved into sustainable development and ESG standards across various sectors, encompassing net-zero initiatives and corporate objectives. As ESG concepts continue to gain traction after two decades of usage, we encourage more participants to harness the power of business for good, persist in executing innovative, inclusive, and green endeavors, and implement responsible business strategies.”

Knox removes the operational barriers that can keep innovative software companies from deploying secure, compliant solutions on Azure Government. Together, we’re making it dramatically faster for agencies to access the technologies they need, securely, compliantly, and at mission speed.”

The collaboration strengthens Microsoft’s ecosystem for independent software vendors (ISVs) pursuing government opportunities while expanding the pathway for AI-native, cybersecurity, enterprise software, and critical infrastructure companies to bring production workloads to Azure.

“Microsoft is committed to helping software companies innovate for government while meeting the highest standards for security and compliance,” said Jamie Harper, VP, Defense Industrial Base, Microsoft. “Our collaboration with Knox provides organizations with an accelerated path to deploy innovative solutions on Microsoft Azure Government Cloud, helping government agencies gain faster access to the technologies that support critical missions.”

Customers including Adobe, Armis, Celonis, BigID, and other leading software providers rely on Knox to bring commercial innovation to government faster while maintaining rigorous security standards.

As AI adoption accelerates across government, the partnership reflects a shared commitment to ensuring agencies can securely leverage the same cutting-edge technologies already powering the commercial economy.
