What is CDX?
CDX is a secure, governed interoperability platform that connects legacy, cloud, ERP, SaaS, and edge systems through governed APIs. It lets organizations modernize, share trusted data, and enable AI-ready workflows—without disrupting users, missions, or systems of record.
Trusted, governed data for analytics and agent workflows.
Zero Trust identity, policy, and access enforcement.
Build-once, use-many APIs replace one-off interfaces.
Federated, hosted, and edge across cloud and on-prem.
What it does · Why it matters
Core capabilities, paired with mission value.
Core Platform Capabilities
- Reusable APIs eliminate one-off interfaces and shrink integration timelines.
- Zero Trust & Governance enforce access, policy, visibility, and traceability across every exchange.
- Federated architecture spans cloud (including IL-5 / IL-6), on-prem, and edge environments.
Mission Value
- Accelerate modernization without disrupting operations or systems of record.
- Improve auditability through centralized controls and end-to-end visibility.
- Power AI and analytics with trusted, governed, reusable data services.
Why CDX
Four differentiators set CDX apart.
ATO-Authorized Maturity (IL-5)
Operating today in a FedRAMP-authorized IL-5 environment with a defined path to IL-6.
Reusable Implementation IP
Battle-tested patterns, accelerators, and connectors built from 8+ years of operations.
Federated Architecture
Run hosted, federated, or both—data anywhere to anywhere, no autonomy lost.
AI-Ready Data Services
MCP-exposed governed APIs make agentic AI safe to operate at mission speed.
Where it's deployed & where it goes next
Multiple services. One platform.
CDX is operational across the Navy enterprise today—and the same governed, federated pattern is recommended for expansion across the Army, Air Force, Golden Dome, defense contractors & regulated industries, and enterprise cyber defense.
