The problem

Defense communications face critical security challenges

Shadow IT opens doors: Unapproved tools bypass security controls and create unmonitored breach points.

Compliance slows coordination: Meeting Zero Trust and NIST standards while enabling teamwork feels impossible.

Tool sprawl breaks mission flow: Multiple disconnected systems prevent unified, secure communications across teams.
