Federal agencies are not immune to security attacks, even if their controls and processes are as tight as Fort Knox. Some of the world’s most technologically advanced enterprises, from Microsoft to SolarWinds to Okta, have faced security incidents and were exposed to risk. Many of these successful cyber attacks did not start with hackers fighting their way through firewalls and intrusion prevention systems or executing zero-day exploits....

Today’s warfighters and the network architects that design the communications networks they rely on are faced with adversaries that are increasingly sophisticated. It’s critical that sensitive and classified information is secured while in transit and at rest. Public key cryptography plays an essential role in securing this data, whether it is CUI data used throughout the federal government, or Secret and Top Secret data secured th...

The recent executive order and Office of Management and Budget memorandum has made it clear that we need to be heading towards a zero-trust architecture. But when we examine the cultural shift required to reach that goal, we may be moving forward but we’re really moving back to the future. Security used to be straightforward. You could only access what you needed to know, when you needed to know it. This was true whether it was a locked...

The needs of command and control now require all-domain capability across all military services on land, sea, air, space and cyberspace.
