Collaboration Aims to Mitigate AI Vulnerabilities and Post-Quantum Cryptographic Risks
RapidFort, a software supply chain security provider, has signed a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with SpaceWERX, the innovation arm of the United States Space Force. The agreement establishes a joint research and testing framework to accelerate Authority to Operate approvals, reduce artificial intelligence software exploitation risks, and harden space system software supply chains against post-quantum encryption threats. The partnership aims to deploy hardened, quantum-resilient software packages across mission-critical Space Force infrastructure, as reported by Quantum Computing Report.
