Pasadena, Calif. – October 07, 2026 -- Virtualitics has become the first AI-native readiness platform to secure Impact Level 6 (IL6) Authority to Operate, clearing it to process classified workloads on Secret-level Department of War networks.

Virtualitics secured IL6 authorization in nine months, beating the typical 12-to-18-month timeline

The company achieved the certification alongside Impact Level 5 (IL5) authorization, which covers Controlled Unclassified Information and National Security Systems workloads at the unclassified level. Together the two authorizations let Department of War leaders deploy Virtualitics' AI Readiness Applications across both unclassified and Secret-level environments while meeting each tier's security requirements.
