Speed, security, and the element of surprise are fundamental to special operations (spec ops). None of which are possible without the ability to move and communicate. In a new world, where no network is trusted, the fundamentals of spec ops are compromised if there is no security from the start. This means distinct policies take new shape and authorities go hand-in-hand with different missions in the intelligence and spec ops spectrum.

The market is flooded with offerings that meet some of these requirements, but they fall short in the areas of edge or mission-focused security. Capabilities that meet the demands of such environments must be built from the ground up with security as the driving design principle, leveraging powerful encryption and data integrity mechanisms.

Attendees joined SpiderOak and Carahsoft for our webinar to discuss how SpiderOak leverages distributed ledgers and no knowledge encryption to provide the industry’s most secure communication and collaboration capabilities.

They explored:

• Why end-to-end encryption is a must
• What new challenges we can expect in the future
• Confidentiality and integrity with powerful policy controls
• Unique operational demands of edge communication in hostile environments
• The importance of inherent security when choosing communication technologies
• How to deploy secure communication via zero-trust networking and zero-trust infrastructure
