Open-Source DevSecOps Solution for Airgap Now in the Hands of
the Open Source Community
Defense Unicorns is proud to announce the contribution of Zarf,
its innovative, open-source DevSecOps solution for airgap, to the
Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF). This contribution
exemplifies Defense Unicorns' belief in the critical role of
open-source software in advancing the mission of the United States
Department of Defense.
“Zarf started with the very unique challenge of deploying
systems on submarines where airgap was quite literally the
reality,” said Jeff McCoy, Co-Founder of Defense Unicorns. “Over
the years of expanding into space systems, cyber defense missions,
airframes and various regulated cloud environments, Zarf has now
evolved from an airgap tool to a way to deploy complex systems into
any environment.”
Zarf is designed to enhance security and streamline operations
within air-gapped environments, addressing key software deployment
challenges facing the Department of Defense.
"Open source software is critical infrastructure used worldwide.
We're proud to welcome Zarf to the OpenSSF. Zarf will enhance open
source security in air-gapped environments, where other security
tools may not function. We look forward to Zarf helping to make
open source software secure for everyone," said Omkhar Arasaratnam,
General Manager of OpenSSF.
To prepare Zarf for contribution to the OpenSSF, the Zarf team
focused on improving stability, increasing Code Coverage for
testing, reducing the time it takes to run the end-to-end test
suite, and refactoring code to simplify onboarding of new community
contributors.
"At Defense Unicorns, our commitment to open-source goes beyond
code—it's about building bridges between the open-source community
and our national security mission,” said Vice President of Product,
Austen Bryan. “We hold a shared vision of technological advancement
and making secure software accessible to all."
Defense Unicorns is eager to see how the community will evolve
Zarf going forward.
