The U.S. Air Force’s Cloud One program office awards subcontract
for Rebellion Nova to secure mission applications
Rebellion Defense, the technology company building software to
outpace national security threats, today announced it has been
awarded a subcontract for Rebellion Nova to deliver continuous,
automated testing for web applications hosted by the U.S. Air
Force’s Cloud One enterprise cloud platform.
“Cloud One is a leader in enabling the U.S. Department of
Defense with commercial enterprise cloud offerings to deliver
modern capabilities to the Air Force,” said Ben FitzGerald, Chief
Executive Officer at Rebellion Defense. “We’re excited for Nova to
play a key part in securing their applications to protect our
warfighters’ missions.”
Under this contract, Rebellion will deliver on-demand,
continuous application testing with its Rebellion Nova software
product to identify actionable security insights during the
software development process to incorporate cyber resilience at the
start of an application’s lifecycle. Nova testing results will also
inform gating criteria for applications moving into production
environments to provide last-mile validation of cyber
readiness.
This partnership between Cloud One and Rebellion Defense marks
forward progress on implementing the Pentagon’s shift to continuous
cybersecurity practices, moving away from point-in-time security
checks that provide limited insight against the evolving nature of
software technology. Continuous, on-demand testing with Nova will
empower mission application owners across Cloud One to gain ready
access to the latest security insights and compliance with
continuous Authorization to Operate (cATO) requirements.
Rebellion Defense is operating under a subcontract with Clarity
Innovations, a mission-focused software provider, under its prime
contract with the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center. This
contract’s deliverables will meaningfully contribute to enhanced,
full-cycle application security for Department of Defense
application owners leveraging Cloud One’s platform.
