L'OTAN a sélectionné l'offre Nexium Defence Cloud de Thales afin de déployer le cloud de ses futurs centres de commandement modulaires. La technologie de Thales doit offrir une interopérabilité et une communication ultra-sécurisée entre le centre de commandement et les thé'tres d'opérations, et accélérer la transformation numérique des forces armées coalisées. Déployable en moins de 24 heures, la solution Nexium Defence Cloud permet à l'OTAN de réduire le nombre de ses ingénieurs informatiques sur sites, gr'ce à son système d'orchestration, en réduisant les déploiements des services informatiques et applicatifs de sites distants de plusieurs milliers de kilomètres à quelques heures, avec un nombre d'experts limité. « Basée sur une approche globale incluant à la fois la gestion des applications, l'IT (Information Technology), les réseaux et la sécurité, cette solution repose également sur une architecture adaptée pour divers niveaux de confidentialité », précise Thales. « Cette solution, la plus compacte, intégrée et modulaire du marché, inclut tous les constituants des postes de commandements militaires (caissons, serveurs, stockage de données, système de supervision...), répondant au niveau de performance exigé en termes de volume, taille, poids et consommation énergétique, simplifiant la logistique de déploiement », explique le groupe.

Andrew Eversden The Air Force awarded a contract potentially worth $35 million to Wickr, a secure communications platform provider, the Defense Department announced June 1. Under the two-year contract, the Air Force will use Wickr's secure recall, alert and messaging services. The cloud-based application suite will provide end-to-end encrypted file, video, chat, text and voice services for end users. The Air Force is obligating $7.7 million in fiscal 2020 funds at the time of the award, according to the contract announcement. The award was made by the Air Force Installation Contracting Center at Hurlburt Field in Florida. Joel Wallenstrom, CEO of Wickr, told C4ISRNET in a June 4 interview that the award was the largest contract his company has won. The San Francisco-based company has already established a relationship with the Air Force through the service's Strategic Financing program, which includes several internal innovation and small business outreach hubs. In April, Wickr announced the program had awarded his company a contract as part of $550 million in awards it gave out to 21 companies. According to Wallenstrom, Wickr's platform includes a federated network capability that allows a network administrator to create temporary environments for users to communicate with allies or family members without increasing risk. The platform "not only secures things on a day-to-day basis, but in very special circumstances you can create temporary secure operating environments with people of choice, but that doesn't mean you bring them into ... your environment permanently,” Wallenstrom said. https://www.c4isrnet.com/it-networks/2020/06/05/air-force-awards-multimillion-dollar-secure-communications-contract
