On January 28, Mattermost announced its intent to develop an AI-ready platform for Azure Secret and Top Secret cloud environments. This initiative will leverage the power of Azure AI, including OpenAI’s GPT-4o, which recently received authorization for use in Microsoft’s Azure Government Top Secret cloud, as announced by Microsoft on January 16.
Mattermost is purpose-built for disconnected, edge-based environments, enabling secure collaboration and workflow execution even in the most isolated and sensitive operations. This includes one-to-one and group messaging, file sharing, systems integration, automation, audio calling, and screen share. This new initiative will extend these capabilities to Azure’s air-gapped cloud environments, empowering defense and intelligence agencies to leverage the latest advancements in AI while maintaining the highest levels of security and compliance.
“The material rise in geopolitical instability and the dramatic increase in global cyber threats, including adversarial use of AI and digital attack vectors, requires rapid augmentation of capabilities within air-gapped environments to more rapidly detect, analyze, and defend against new categories of threats,” said Corey Hulen, CEO of Mattermost Federal Inc. “This initiative represents a significant step forward in our commitment to providing the secure and innovative solutions required for mission success in this challenging environment.”
