The partnership fulfills a cornerstone of Andesite’s mission to protect those who protect others.
MCLEAN, Va., Feb. 10, 2025 — The Department of War and allied government agencies now can deploy advanced Human-Artificial Intelligence (AI) Security Operations Center (SOC) technologies after a new partnership between Andesite AI (Andesite) and Second Front Systems (2F).
Andesite’s Human-AI SOC will be available through 2F Game Warden, Second Front’s DevSecOps platform built to accelerate authorization and deployment across U.S. and allied government environments. The partnership gives government users a faster, authorized way to deploy Andesite’s best-in-class AI security capabilities into real-world operations.
“Andesite was founded by leaders who spent decades operating in environments where trust and security are non-negotiable,” said Brian Carbaugh, Co-Founder and CEO at Andesite. “That experience inspired us to build solutions that support and empower those who protect others. We are honored to partner with Second Front to strengthen AI security capabilities across the public sector.”
Andesite’s bona fides were further bolstered recently as the company secured a strategic investment from IQT, the not-for-profit strategic investor for the U.S. national security community and America’s allies.
“Andesite offers a unique capability built by a diverse team of national security, cybersecurity, AI, and data experts,” said Grant Whiting, Partner, Investments at IQT. “Their solution can help improve national security and keep America one step ahead of its adversaries.”
Andesite’s Human-AI SOC technology empowers cybersecurity and national security teams with actionable insights that matter most to their organization’s risk profile. It accelerates time to detect, investigate, and respond while connecting data silos and reducing inefficiencies across data sources, tools, and platforms in the security ecosystem.
“AI doesn’t win missions—deployed AI does,” said Mamie Cruse, Chief Mission Officer at Second Front. “This partnership reflects our commitment to delivering advanced AI capabilities to government operators through secure, compliant, and mission-ready deployment paths.”
From inception, Andesite has built a security, trust and safety program that permeates all of its practices. Andesite’s Safe AI Architecture™ protects customer data, applications, and networks with end-to-end encryption, no extract, transform, and load (ETL) requirements, and the assurance that their AI is not trained with customers’ data.
Andesite has achieved FedRAMP High In-Process and recently completed its SOC 2 Type II audit, HITRUST e1, and ISO 27001, 27701, and 42001 certifications.
