As the defense industrial base (DIB) grapples with CMMC compliance requirements, we're witnessing an intensifying battle between Microsoft Office 365 and Google Workspace. Both tech giants are vying to be the cloud collaboration platform of choice for over 100,000 companies operating in the DIB that must now certify a wide range of cyber security controls at either level 1, level 2, or level 3. But let's cut through the noise - and examine what the battle between Microsoft Office 365 and Google Workspace means for DIB contractors seeking both compliance and genuine security. https://lnkd.in/enSNavDf

National security, coalition warfare, and billions at stake - there's a lot to talk about in the DIB. Welcome to The ZT Brief: your inside track on securing the federal government through zero-trust architecture. In our inaugural issue, we examine how the #SaltTyphoon breach exposed critical vulnerabilities in mandated backdoor systems, highlighting why true end-to-end encryption is crucial for national security. Join us as we explore the intersection of policy, technology, and security in protecting America's most sensitive data.

John Ackerly to Inc. Magazine: “I liken [Salt Typhoon] to the Eras Tour of hacking, because it’s unprecedented, spectacular, and it never ends ... They are still in our networks right now. I don’t even think we’re to the Madison Square Garden show.” End-to-end encryption has always been essential, but it hasn't always been embraced. Now, we're learning a lesson despite many warnings heeded decades ago. To truly protect our nation’s communications and information, we need to shift away from backdoor-dependent architectures and toward Zero Trust principles that assume every system and user could be compromised. E2EE is one of them.
