On September 24, Intelligent Waves (IW) announced a strategic partnership with SpiderOak. The strategic partnership will address the Department of Defense’s (DoD) critical operational need to communicate securely through a ground-breaking decentralized communication network that remains functional even when traditional ground and space infrastructure is compromised or denied.
The DoD faces state and nonstate global adversaries that routinely threaten to disrupt and obstruct critical information flow through terrestrial and satellite communications. Intelligent Waves and SpiderOak have partnered to deliver an solution that counters that threat. This new solution ensures an ultra-secure, decentralized peer-to-peer (P2P) network to transmit sensitive tactical information. Their innovation will enable the DoD to disseminate critical information efficiently and continue using that network even when the infrastructure itself has been compromised. This communications solution enables conventional and disadvantaged networks to leverage the most advanced distributed ledger technology to strengthen tactical intelligence and communication in severely contested environments, according to the companies.
Dave Pearah, CEO of SpiderOak, stated, “As global cyber threats rapidly evolve, the need for secure, resilient communication channels has never been more critical. Partnering with Intelligent Waves allows SpiderOak to leverage its deep understanding of the DoD’s mission-critical needs, enabling us to deliver a cutting-edge, decentralized communication solution that can withstand even the most hostile and remote edge computing environments. Together, we’re setting a new standard for cybersecurity in contested spaces, ensuring that the DoD remains connected and informed, no matter the sophistication of the cyber threat.”
John Hammes, Intelligent Waves chief strategy officer, commented, “IW is excited to bring on board this disruptive communications technology to help the DoD avoid compromised communications whenever we’re facing near-peer adversaries. SpiderOak, a leader in zero-trust cybersecurity technologies, paired with Intelligent Waves’ proven portfolio of secure communications solutions like GRAYPATH and Phantom, forms a promising partnership.”
