SMX: Developing Secure Information Sharing in Defence Networks

SMX executive explains how with design, integration and zero trust, they’re able to keep mission critical information sharing in defence networks secure

The complexity of these environments is staggering: "Mission Partner Environments are some of the most complex environments in terms of both technology and data governance.” However, SMX’s unique position as an integrator allows it to navigate these complexities effectively.

Securing increasingly complex networks has become a Herculean task. Yet one company, SMX, has established itself as a trusted partner of government and military clients through its innovative solutions for complex multi-national defence networks.

Zero trust architecture as an integrator

“IMN is crucial to protecting the US and the information from our partner networks,” says Dewey.

As a technology integrator and service provider, SMX specialises in designing, implementing and managing secure information sharing environments for government and military clients. With a focus on Mission Partner Environments (MPEs) and zero trust architectures, SMX is revolutionising how nations collaborate in the digital space.

SMX’s approach therefore includes the traditional Risk Management Framework (RMF) and rapidly developing standards associated with zero trust and data-centric security.

Securing a future for multi-cloud strategies

Revolutionising partner environments

Looking to the future, SMX is heavily invested in multi-cloud strategies. This focus on cloud integration aligns with the broader industry trend towards flexible, scalable solutions.

At the heart of SMX's innovations is its work on the Indo-Pacific Mission Network (IMN).

"Through IMN, we are actively designing, testing, fielding and validating a zero trust, data-centric security enabled Mission Partner Environment," explains Dana Dewey, Mission Solutions Group President at SMX.

SMX will therefore work to implement agile methodologies to rapidly evolve with increasing demands and complexities.

All these applications mean that SMX is not just keeping pace with the cybersecurity needs of complex Mission Partner Environments – it ’s setting the pace.
