An insight into how NATO is experimenting with Matrix to create a digitally sovereign and secure BYOD style messenger for ‘unclassified’ use.
NATO is developing a messaging platform called NI2CE, which stands for NATO Interoperable Instant Communication Environment that looks to address issues including:
- Privacy concerns
- Unsecured communication
- Lack of reliability (centralised systems are prone to global outages)
- No interoperability between systems
- Lack of corporate control or oversight
- No authentication/SSO to manage users (leavers, joiners, access management etc)
I work as a community manager in the InnovationBranch of Allied Command Transformation in NATO.
One of my projects is NI2CE messenger, an experiment to use Matrix as a daily non-classified communication solution for the NATO enterprise.
Besides my role as product owner, I also work on emergent innovation and other IT related projects.
