While any business is a potential target for hackers, critical infrastructure organizations — including defense, healthcare, energy, utilities, and financial services companies — are perhaps most at risk due to their financial resources. According to the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security, attacks on critical infrastructure organizations increased 30% in 2023.

With cyberattacks becoming more frequent —and the associated impacts becoming increasingly difficult to absorb — it’s more important than ever for critical infrastructure organizations to invest in cyber resilience.

Mattermost will create an artificial intelligence-ready workflow platform for Microsoft’s Azure Secret and Top Secret cloud environments, an initiative that Corey Hulen, Mattermost Federal CEO, described as advancing the company’s goal of providing new tools to address rising data security challenges.

“The material rise in geopolitical instability and the dramatic increase in global cyber threats, including adversarial use of AI and digital attack vectors, requires rapid augmentation of capabilities within air-gapped environments to more rapidly detect, analyze and defend against new categories of threats,” he said.

Mattermost announced the availability of Mattermost for Microsoft Teams, a flexible interoperability framework to flow information and communications across enterprise-wide Microsoft 365 users and technical and operational organizations in Mattermost.

For national security, public safety, and critical infrastructure organizations, Mattermost supplements “Enterprise IT” systems such as Microsoft Teams with “Mission IT” workflows vital to cyber resilience, including out-of-band incident response, ChatOps in segregated networks, Red Team and penetration testing workflows, and emergency communications.
