New DoD Zero Trust Data Guidelines
The DoD published an update to its Zero Trust Strategy (attached). The most important item is data's increased role in their Zero Trust strategy. In the past, the DoD defined Zero Trust primarily from a network, device, and identity perspective (the data component was not prominent). Two changes drive the evolution of the DoD’s Zero Trust Strategy; 1/ the growth of sensor/imaging data and ensuring that it is available to front-line personnel and 2/real-world experience from Ukraine in which wireless networks are continuously jammed. These two factors have resulted in a new warfighting model in which mission-critical data is stored at the edge along with authorization policies. In fact, the only example of Zero Trust in action on Page 6 is about moving away from the older approach to locking down data in one place to allowing any authorized user to access data WHENEVER and WHEREVER they are (they actually capitalize those words).
Privacy Penalties and the Dangers of Non-Compliance
Recent high-profile cyber security breaches illustrate the extraordinary costs that failing to maintain robust and effective cyber defenses presents across industries.
The examples below reveal that companies incur significant losses due to financial settlements, steep regulatory penalties, loss of reputation, and penalties.

The Promise and Peril of Smart Technologies: Embracing Opportunities and Managing Privacy Risk
Exponential improvements in computing power mean that smart technologies can help communities tackle civic challenges efficiently and effectively to ensure equitable outcomes. Following a trust-centric resident-first approach, we outline five ideas that could help foster community empowerment.
Understanding What Zero Trust Is (w/ Junaid Islam, Co-Founder of XQ Message)
Organizations need to adopt a new security model to protect their clients, teams, data, and applications effectively. In a Cyber Security Matters episode, hosts Dominic Vogel and Christian Redshaw joined Junaid Islam, Co-Founder of XQ Message, the leader in data-centric digital trust discuss the best security practices for organizations, Zero Trust, and concerns in cyberspace.
The Digital Trust Initiative is established at Discovery Park District at Purdue
New collaboration at the Discovery Park District at Purdue is creating a technology governance framework to empower its citizens to drive trust, sustainability and innovation.
Quick Deploy Zero Trust Cybersecurity
Listen to the latest podcast featuring our very own Junaid Islam, CTO of XQ Msg, and learn how XQ is securing the future of Smart Cities with quick deployment of Zero Trust Cybersecurity.
Future of Cybersecurity is ‘Friction-less Zero Trust Data’
The three key points for this short - 10-minute podcast are:
With protection at the data level, XQ Msg can protect through the complete life-cycle
Network agnostic data protection allows for an infinite number of applications
Interoperability reduces the cost of deployment
Data lakes Are A Hacker’s Dream - Here’s How To Secure Them
XQ is the first data protection solution built on a Zero Trust model. With XQ encryption, a Smart City can provide selective access to data. We can even establish secure cryptographic gateways between multiple data lakes.
How to add a zero-trust encrypted form onto your wordPress Site
XQ Secure Forms is easy to set up and is a hassle-free solution for safely receiving client information. XQ works with your existing form, so no need to replace the form solutions you have already invested in.
Is Open Source a requirement for a Security API?
In a recent developer roundtable discussion XQ held on August 17, 2021, our Head of Corporate Development, Kelby Price, and Zero-Trust expert Junaid Islam spoke with a group of senior developers about their thoughts between open versus closed source as part of their security API’s.
DevSecOps: what is it and Why you need it
On August, 17, 2021, XQ hosted their first developer roundtable discussion with developers and our very own, Kelby Price and Zero-Trust expert, Junaid Islam. The event centered around Zero Trust, APIs, DevSecOps, and cybersecurity challenges in the software development industry.
Application Security: Do I need it?
XQ held their first developer roundtable discussion on August 17, 2021, hosted by our Head of Corporate Development, Kelby Price, and Zero-Trust expert, Junaid Islam. They spoke with a group of senior developers on their thoughts about application security.
The importance of establishing a strong security culture
Within a healthy cybersecurity culture, all team members care about maintaining the security and integrity of data. This means the values and practices of an organization align with protecting the intellectual property, personal data, and business assets of the company and its customers.
Cybersecurity Trends for 2022: Trends to look out for in the new year
Cyber risks will continue to increase in 2022. Part of this increase is due to the digitization of banking, education, and even healthcare services, all of which were radically accelerated due to the pandemic. Such trends will continue to be catastrophic for governments, enterprises, and people alike.
The World’s Largest, most powerful c5ISR System now incorporates zero-trust
XQ enables AGIS’ MDDL C5ISR System (Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) to meet Zero-Trust NIST 800-171 advanced encryption, routing, and data management compliance requirements. All data, PTT, and Video are protected by double encryption.
Alternative methods for Cybersecurity: Zero-Trust Gateway
XQ’s Zero-Trust Gateway is a breakthrough in data protection as it is entirely software-based in contrast with the hardware-based solutions that are currently on the market. It allows you to secure and transmit your data over any series of links inside or outside your network while still keeping your data safe.
Reliability and Security are Essential to Connectivity
Satellite systems can effectively provide failover connectivity when systems on the ground are down. Without proper cybersecurity protection measures, such satellites cannot support secure connectivity.
