Spy agencies to open communications to entire intelligence community
Knitting databases of this nature together is very much in line with the theme of “dare to share”, as opposed to previous policies of “share if you must”. This new willingness to share has to be treated with caution however — strong and robust sharing policies, backed by technological controls will be required to prevent problems caused by increased classification of data caused by aggregation.
This is an area Nexor is undertaking detailed research in — how do you maintain original security labels on documents, where labels are not supported in the native document formats, as the document traverses networks with heterogeneous software implementations.
As NATO and its allies unite against the terrorist threat, Nexor has enhanced its communications technology to allow support for email exchange between nations using the differing label formats from their national security labelling policies. To learn about the specific changes click here.
The UK’s South East England Development Agency (SEEDA) has awarded the iGRC Consortium additional enabling funding for specialist information infrastructure protection sensor companies wanting to support the programme. Nexor is one of the SMEs contributing to the project. For more details click here.
Further to the launch of its revolutionary Virtual Military Message Handling System (VMMHS), the fast track approach to the provision of MMHS, Nexor is pleased to confirm successful implementation in several countries. Defence ministries, and also interior and justice departments who are starting to look for higher grade security within their messaging systems, have been able to install the VMMHS quickly and easily in order to assess and test the functionality within their own environment.
