Software Assurance (Developer & Supply Chain)
Detect, Assess, and Remediate Geopolitical, Foreign Ownership, Cyber, and Regulatory Risk Across the PAI-RAS Software Stack
Software Composition Analysis (SCA) finds vulnerable components. Static Application Security Testing (SAST) finds insecure code. HORIZON-X finds what both miss — geopolitical exposure, foreign ownership risk, adversarial influence, and regulatory non-compliance embedded across the Physical AI, Robotics & Autonomous Systems (PAI-RAS) software stack. Purpose-built exclusively for PAI-RAS and delivered as a browser-accessible, AI-Native Agentic Risk Intelligence Platform via SaaS, HORIZON-X complements existing SCA and SAST investments by ingesting and correlating developer workflows, DevSecOps SDLC artifacts, source code repositories, CI/CD pipelines, SBOMs, and third-party and open-source dependencies — spanning the full software stack from firmware, operating systems, and middleware through AI perception, planning, control layers, and the AI SDK layer. HORIZON-X evaluates the origin, integrity, and trustworthiness of software components across the PAI-RAS ecosystem, enabling organizations to Detect, Assess, and Remediate strategic risk from developer teams to supply chains — with remediation aligned to U.S., Allied Nation, and Strategic Partner software component alternatives.
Where Does Fidelitas Defense Fit In Software Assurance?
Three Layers of PAI-RAS Software Stack Intelligence
HORIZON-X assesses risk across three critical layers of the PAI-RAS software stack:
• Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs): Component inventories, version exposure, supplier entity analysis, and vulnerability correlation
• Source Code Repositories: Code provenance, dependencies, maintainer entity analysis, and license posture
• Software Pipeline Builds (CI/CD): Build configurations, artifacts, provenance integrity, and pipeline security
Across all three layers, the platform delivers actionable intelligence on Software Supply Chain Integrity, Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI) exposure, Insider Threats, and regulatory alignment — enabling organizations to manage Enterprise, Geopolitical, and Regulatory Risk across complex PAI-RAS software stacks with confidence.
Managed Software Assurance Services:
Beyond our AI-Native Platform, Fidelitas Defense delivers Managed Software Assurance Services — including Assurance, Risk Assessment, and Training engagements led by Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) with decades of operational cybersecurity experience across the U.S. Intelligence Community, military and private sector.
Our SMEs bring hands-on expertise in PAI-RAS risk across high-consequence, highly regulated, and classified environments — delivering mission-aligned guidance, proactive risk remediation, and actionable, defensible insights for organizations operating in sensitive domains.
Outcomes: Software Assurance, Supply Chain Risk Management, Regulatory Compliance & Operational Efficiency
• Strengthened Software Assurance — Identification of hidden vulnerabilities, high-risk dependencies, provenance concerns, and advanced adversary threats including Nation-State, Organized Crime, Insider, and Hacktivist threat vectors across proprietary, vendor, and open-source codebases.
• Improved Supply Chain Risk Management — Continuous visibility into supply chain exposures, foreign ownership and control structures, and adversarial influence embedded within third-party and open-source dependencies across the full PAI-RAS software stack.
• Enhanced Regulatory Compliance — Alignment with EO 13920, NIST SP 800-161 , NIST SP 800-218 SSDF, U.S. Interagency Third-Party Risk Management Guidance, NDAA provisions, NATO STANAG & AQAP expectations, and EU-UK cybersecurity directives including NIS2 and the Cyber Security & Resilience Bill (CSRB).
• Increased Operational Efficiency — Unified, analyst-interactive intelligence consolidating SCA, SAST, SBOM, and CI/CD pipeline data into a single platform — reducing manual correlation, accelerating risk decisions, and enabling proactive risk reduction across mission-critical system development, acquisition, and deployment.
From Security Scans to Strategic Risk Intelligence
HORIZON-X Complements Your Existing Security Tools — Uncovering What They Can't
HORIZON-X ingests and correlates outputs from the tools your teams already use — including GitHub Advanced Security, Azure DevOps, Black Duck, and Snyk — along with SBOMs, repository metadata, and CI/CD pipeline data. By correlating these outputs with external intelligence, sanctions lists, corporate ownership data, and dual-use regulatory frameworks, HORIZON-X answers the question your current tools cannot: who controls your software. The platform identifies foreign ownership and control exposure, sanctioned entity relationships, insider risk indicators, and regulatory compliance gaps across your PAI-RAS software stack — serving both Commercial and National Security sectors. HORIZON-X surfaces hidden supply chain risks, foreign nexus exposure, and compliance gaps before they become operational, legal, or national security liabilities.
