We're in Brussels for TechNet International, and this morning Sheldon Lo-A-Njoe took the stage to address a pressing question for modern mission owners: how do you trust the software you're running when you can't reach a network to verify it?

For years, that verification depended on connectivity, and you'd confirm an artifact is what it claims to be in real time against a central source of truth. But this approach doesn't work in DDIL and air-gapped environments, and that's exactly where the stakes are highest.

At TechNet, Sheldon walked through how we close that gap: build the verification into the software itself. This means tamper-evident proof of origin, build, and approval travels with the artifact, so forces can confirm that what they're deploying is authentic, unmodified, and authorized, with or without a network to check against.

In short: trust travels with the software, not through the network.

That's also what makes it work across a coalition. When the proof lives in the artifact, every partner can verify the same software independently, which is what audit-ready compliance and interoperability actually require in contested conditions.

Sheldon goes deeper on all of this in an article he wrote with Nicolas Ferrao at Airbus Defence and Space, including the five most common ways supply chains get compromised and the cryptographic proof that shuts each one down.

Last day at TechNet Cyber!
It's been a busy few days in Baltimore, full of great conversations and plenty of demos at the booth with our partner Vertosoft. If you're still around today, come by booth #2925 and say hi before we wrap up.

UAS threats don't all come from the sky.
Command and control runs on digital systems and long software supply chains now, which turns every connection into a potential target and puts the mission at risk well before anything leaves the ground.

Today at TechNet Cyber, our Colton Shaw joins AFCEA's Emerging Leaders panel, "Elevating Mission Assurance: Securing C2 and Data Integrity in UAS/C-UAS Operations," where the discussion gets into the engineering that keeps these systems trustworthy: Zero Trust, Secure by Design, and verification that holds up in contested environments.

If you're also here at TechNet, catch the panel today at 4:00pm EST (approved for CEU credits), and come find us at booth #2925.

In national security infrastructure, integrity can't be assumed.
It's not enough to say what should be running in your infra. You need to be able to prove what actually is, and that nothing has been tampered with or drifted out of spec since deployment.

That level of proof is hard to come by.
Most platforms struggle because the evidence either doesn't exist or has to be reconstructed after the fact.

But we built ours differently.
Signed images, immutable OS, and declarative configuration are core to how the platform operates, which means operators can show exactly what's running and how it got there, at any moment. Mission owners get assurance they can back up with evidence.

The threat model has shifted.
Adversaries used to target the data, but now they're going after the infrastructure underneath it because they know compromising that gives them everything else for free.

Supply chain attacks, firmware backdoors and remote kill switches are all real, documented threats. And they exploit exactly the kind of dependencies most platforms can't avoid: external control planes, forced vendor updates, telemetry the vendor controls.

Sovereign infrastructure is the answer.
The keys, the updates, the visibility into what's actually running, all of it belongs to the mission owner. Any modernization that doesn't give you that just relocates the attack surface.

ATOs are where modernization momentum tends to die.
Security teams spend months rebuilding evidence from scratch, every new program starts the certification work over again, and capability that should be in the field is stuck in review instead.

The work itself is necessary, but the repetition is definitely not.
There's no real reason STIG baselines, FIPS modules, and RMF controls have to be reassembled by hand every time. Instead, they can be embedded directly into cluster profiles and inherited across programs, so compliance becomes something automated and auditable instead of manual and reactive.

This is the kind of solution that moves ATO timelines from months to weeks, and makes certification work compound across programs instead of resetting with each one.

One of the more frustrating things in government infrastructure is how fast everything starts to split apart. One setup for cloud, another for on-prem, different requirements for classified work, and then a whole separate conversation once air-gapped environments are involved.

We’re here to solve that spread with one platform teams can use across those environments, with control of the full stack, compliance built into the way it operates, and support for systems that have to keep running even when they are fully disconnected.

That gives programs a more consistent foundation to reuse instead of rebuilding around every environment from scratch.

A lot of modernization conversations in government start with speed. Which is fair, but our experience shows that control is usually the harder part.
If an agency does not fully own the keys, policies, updates, and lifecycle decisions behind the platform, it is still taking on risk no matter how modern the stack looks on paper. And that becomes even more obvious in classified, air-gapped, and other restricted environments.

NLIT Summit 2026 starts today, and our team is onsite at booth 829. If you’re here too, come say hi.
And a friendly reminder for Wednesday: Michael Wood and Mike Garris will be presenting on 'Designing for Consistency in a Multi-Cloud World' from 10:40 to 11:10am.

05/01/2026

Keeping multi-cloud consistent over time is no easy feat.
That’s exactly what Michael Wood and Mike Garris will be digging into in their session at NLIT Summit ’26.

As agencies and national labs operate across cloud, on-prem, and more restricted environments, the challenge is enforcing governance, aligning security policies, managing upgrades, and responding to issues without adding more operational drag.

They’ll get into the Day 2 realities that can complicate multi-cloud strategies over time, including inconsistent policy enforcement, fragmented ownership, and the cost of relying on manual processes and cloud-specific tooling.

If you’re at NLIT, join Wood and Garris for the session.
Worth catching if your team is working through how to balance agility, control, and long-term consistency across environments.
