Just 11 months after incorporating, @vulcantechteam is officially on the FedRAMP marketplace, the U.S. federal government’s searchable directory of secure cloud products, which federal agencies and states can use to find security-vetted vendors. This was a Herculean effort, evidenced by the following data: - only 660 TOTAL companies are listed on the FedRAMP marketplace - only 13 Y Combinator companies - only 7 AI companies - ZERO legal AI companies It also seems like we’re the youngest company to ever be listed on the marketplace (albeit Fable did not check all 660 companies). Traditional advice suggests FedRAMP is impossible for a startup. It’s too hard, too expensive, and, if you’re thinking about it, you better partner with Palantir or Secondfront (and pay them millions of dollars). We eschewed that advice and did it ourselves. There is no doubt that @ycombinator imbued us with this level of confidence and ambition. But the credit belongs to Jonah Calvo and Chris Minge (pictured), whose grit, determination, and many all-nighters of container-hardening, inspired the entire Vulcan team. Security is our top priority and we are honored to join an elite list of the nation’s most secure cloud providers. If you’re at a federal agency, or in a state government, we are armed and ready to deliver you secure frontier AI! Marketplace listing: lnkd.in/gbZMhuFp

❗️ Ex-FM Kuleba Sounds Alarm: Belarus Prepares to Open Second Front Against Ukraine Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has issued a stark warning — Belarus is actively preparing to open a second front in the north. According to him, Minsk is rapidly strengthening its air defenses, clearly gearing up to launch Russian missiles or drones from its territory toward Ukraine. Recent intelligence confirms the threat is escalating: Belarus is building new roads leading to the Ukrainian border and setting up artillery positions right along the frontier. President Zelenskyy also highlighted these suspicious moves just days ago. This fits Putin’s classic playbook — using Lukashenko’s regime as a proxy to stretch Ukrainian forces thin and relieve pressure on the main fronts. Ukraine is closely monitoring every step and remains ready for any scenario. #BelarusThreat #SecondFront #UkraineUnderAttack #RussiaProxy #NorthernBorder

The launch of the Armada Galleon Experience Center at the Carahsoft Conference & Collaboration Center marks an important step forward for edge and #AIinnovation. Together with @ArmadaTech, @Microsoft, @SecondFront, @DellTech and @nvidia, this initiative highlights how mission partners can securely deploy and operationalize #AI in distributed environments.

Thank you to the dozens of partners and friends who joined us for the opening of our Galleon Experience Center in Reston, Virginia today. With companies like @Microsoft, @SecondFront and @Carahsoft , we’re able to show visitors what it takes to deploy AI with speed, scale and sovereignty at the edge. Now available for live demos at Carahsoft headquarters, near DC. Watch the story from @FoxBusiness and @Grady_Trimble:

Several Israeli soldiers killed and injured in southern Lebanon. Not Iran. Not Gaza. Lebanon. The second front has opened. And Israel is already counting bodies. This is what happens when you bomb a country for 48 hours straight—then send troops into its southern villages thinking Hezbollah would just... watch. They didn't watch. They were waiting. Now Israeli media is reporting casualties. Not "a few." Several. And that number will climb. Because Lebanon isn't Gaza. Hezbollah isn't Hamas. And this isn't a "limited operation." Every soldier who crosses into Lebanon is walking into tunnels, ambushes, and 20 years of preparation. Iran doesn't need to fire another missile. Lebanon is doing the work. And Israel is learning the hard way: you can't bomb your way to victory when every neighbor you've attacked finally decides to fight back together. The headlines will change. But the bodies won't. #Lebanon #Hezbollah #IsraelInvasion #SecondFront #AxisOfResistance #IranWar #IDFCasualties #NoEasyWars

.@SecondFront Systems and @ValarianTech announced a strategic partnership to pair up Second Front’s government-facing commercial tech adoption software with Valarian’s sovereignty-focused data infrastructure. tectonicdefense.com/second-f…

Modern defence demands sovereign control. 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 Across Europe, defence institutions aren’t just spending more -- they’re demanding systems they can command end-to-end: data, access, compute, and jurisdiction. At Valarian, that’s the problem we exist to solve & our partnership with @SecondFront brings together two complementary strengths: 1) infrastructure that enforces sovereignty by design, and 2) a proven path for operational software to reach classified environments without slowing to a crawl With ACRA, mission-critical systems run inside sovereign virtual enclaves that don’t phone home, don’t leak control, and don’t rely on external dependency. Paired with Second Front’s delivery platform, this creates a clean, auditable route from innovation to deployment without compromising autonomy.
