Tetrate Brings Enterprise-Ready Ambient Mode to USAF, Securing Wartime Communications
Summary
Most recently, Tetrate collaborated with NIST to produce SP 800-233: Guidance on the Use of Service Mesh Proxy Models for Cloud-Native Applications, which is now available for public review. *Tetrate enhances USAF Platform One with ambient mode* The complexities of modern warfare heightens the demands for secure, reliable communication that can withstand the rigors of contested environments and sophisticated adversaries. With ambient mode, Tetrate enables seamless node-to-node communication that extends operational reach and ensures continuity of command and control, even when conventional networks fail. By running ambient mode alongside a traditional sidecar proxy mesh, the USAF can optimize resource utilization based on security risk profile. Since 2019, AFWERX has executed over 6,100 new contracts worth more than $4 billion to strengthen the U.S. defense industrial base and drive faster technology transition to operational capability.
