On October 21, Owl Cyber Defense announced the launch of XD Chat, a secure text chat solution that enables personnel on classified and unclassified networks to collaborate across security domains with the leading chat systems they already use.
Warfighters and analysts working across classified and unclassified networks need to chat in real time to share critical mission intelligence, tasking and status updates. As AI-enabled operations accelerate the pace of decisions, the cost of delayed information only grows. Until now, fielding secure, adaptable cross-domain chat has proven difficult, often forcing mission teams to stand up additional systems or work around mismatched chat platforms. For deployed teams operating in the field, limited bandwidth can compound these challenges.
When deployed alongside an organization’s existing chat servers and Owl’s certified V2CDS cross-domain voice, video and data solution, XD Chat bridges chat platforms and passes only validated, authorized messages across the network boundary. Users can securely chat across domains through the chat applications they already use, without replacing their existing chat infrastructure.
“Whether at the Edge or the Enterprise, chat has become a core, expected capability that underpins mission workflows. Importantly, in bandwidth-constrained environments it may be the only communication available.” said Scott Orton, CEO of Owl Cyber Defense. “XD Chat lets users keep the chat platforms their teams already know and utilize them across security domains, even where bandwidth is scarce. At the enterprise, XD Chat continues to expand customers’ capabilities in cross domain collaboration.”
