About CPE AI
Built by innovators. Delivered by experts.
Cortex Platform Engineering AI (CPE AI) is the enterprise DevSecOps control plane imagined and engineered by Edge Innovations Tech Inc. — and brought to life in the field by Amplify Federal, the exclusive delivery and professional services partner.
What is CPE AI
A platform engineered for the enterprise. Operated as a unified partnership.
Cortex Platform Engineering AI (CPE AI) is a Zero Trust–aligned DevSecOps control plane that transforms fragmented automation toolchains into a governed, AI-powered enterprise capability. It unifies orchestration, identity governance, inventory intelligence, policy enforcement, and agentic AI across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
CPE AI is not a single-vendor product. It is the result of a deliberate partnership model — where product vision, platform architecture, and AI innovation are driven by Edge Innovations Tech Inc., and where implementation, integration, and customer success are owned entirely by Amplify Federal.
This separation of creative and delivery responsibility ensures that every Cortex deployment is both technically sound and operationally proven — designed with innovation and executed with discipline.
Core platform principles
Zero Trust identity, JIT access, Policy-as-Code, and immutable audit trails are foundational architectural decisions, not optional modules.
21 named AI agents embedded across diagnostics, inventory, orchestration, and governance — delivering contextual insight at execution time, not in a separate dashboard.
The Service Catalog and Stack Framework transform one-off automation into a governed, repeatable, self-service capability available to every team in the enterprise.
Cortex overlays your current toolchain — Terraform, Ansible, ServiceNow, Datadog — connecting and governing them without rip-and-replace disruption.
Our guiding principle
"Security is embedded. Intelligence is operationalized. Automation becomes an enterprise capability."

The partnership
Two organizations. One unified platform.
CPE AI is the product of a deliberate, role-separated partnership — creative authority and delivery excellence working in concert.

The operating model
How CPE AI works as a partnership
A clear separation of creative and delivery authority ensures every customer receives both product innovation and operational excellence.
Platform & Innovation
Designs, engineers, and evolves the Cortex platform — product roadmap, AI capabilities, architecture, and GTM strategy.
The Control Plane
The enterprise DevSecOps platform — Zero Trust, agentic AI, Service Catalog, inventory, ITSM, and diagnostics in one governed fabric.
Delivery & Services
Deploys, configures, and operationalizes Cortex for every customer — from Foundation Onboarding through managed services and compliance sprints.
How to engage
Start with the right conversation
Whether you're evaluating Cortex as a platform, exploring a specific use case, or ready to begin a deployment — Amplify Federal is your first point of contact for all customer engagements.
Platform Evaluation Briefing
A 60-minute structured briefing covering Cortex architecture, feature domains, deployment models, and fit assessment against your current environment and priorities.
Automation Maturity Scorecard
Amplify Federal's structured assessment of your current automation estate — toolchain breadth, governance posture, ITSM integration depth, and AI readiness — resulting in a tier recommendation and services roadmap.
Zero Trust Architecture Review
A CISO-focused session covering Cortex's Zero Trust execution model, CIPF policy framework, JIT access architecture, and compliance posture — mapped to your regulatory obligations.
AI & Agentic Operations Deep Dive
A practitioner session led by Edge Innovations covering the 21-agent capability map, LangGraph orchestration, MCP server architecture, and how AI integrates across diagnostics, inventory, and the Service Catalog.

Early adopter program for 3–5 enterprise organizations. Includes discounted Year 1 subscription, executive roadmap influence, co-branded case study development, and direct access to the Edge Innovations product team.
What drives us
Shared principles across the partnership
Edge Innovations and Amplify Federal operate from a common set of values that define how CPE AI is built, delivered, and evolved.
Zero Trust controls, policy-as-code, and identity-scoped execution are foundational decisions — not features bolted on after the fact. Every design choice is security-first.
AI agents in Cortex operate within governed execution boundaries, understand inventory context, and surface actionable insight — not chatbot responses divorced from operational reality.
Every team — not just specialist operators — should be able to consume governed automation safely. The Service Catalog and Stack Framework exist to make that possible at scale.
Amplify Federal's implementation framework ensures every Cortex deployment produces consistent, auditable, and operationally sound outcomes — regardless of environment complexity.
Cortex is an overlay model — Terraform, Ansible, ServiceNow, and Datadog continue operating as they do today, connected and governed rather than replaced.
Multi-tenant isolation, compliance pack support, ITSM traceability, and FedRAMP/HIPAA posture are built into the platform architecture — not configured later for regulated customers.
