The architecture begins with Mattermost’s industry-leading private cloud configuration offering complete self-sovereign operations and security. The new offering would provide federated communications from existing Mattermost instances to one or more public cloud Mattermost deployments with publicly available mobile applications the the iOS and Android App Stores for mission partners and local law enforcement to install on their personal phones for the duration of the mission, replacing SMS and personal messaging applications with a mobile communication system that verifies the identity of national security operators and maintains control of national security communications, among other cyberdefense and self-sovereignty benefits.

National security organizations who are existing Mattermost customers can request to join the joint-development program for this new offering by contacting their account teams.
