Dexter Edward is a leading integrator of secure, traceless, and anonymous cloud-based Mission Partner Networks (MPN) utilizing commercial cloud infrastructure. Our immediately available software solutions aid in institutional adherence to the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act (FASA) of 1994, by providing readily available commercial items and limiting unnecessary government research and development costs.
The core of this capability is the proprietary, patented Fognigma enterprise software engine which administers the automated deployment of polymorphic, on-demand ephemeral infrastructures over 7 commercial cloud providers, which encompass 100+ data centers in 50 + regions over 5 continents. The virtual nature of the Fognigma environment allows for global scalability and adaptability per mission requirements.
All data transmitted over the Fognigma MPN is secured using cascading, dual-wrapped AES-256 symmetric encryption with 4096-bit RSA for initial key exchange, guaranteeing full user control over the fidelity of their data. Integrated collaboration components include encrypted and obfuscated telephony, voice and video conferencing, chat messaging, file transfer and storage, and Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) enabling the secure, traceless exchange of information at all levels.
Unlike other software defined network (SDN) providers, Fognigma allows for multiple implementation configurations to fit each organization’s varying needs:
1. Traditional cloud-based integration affording access to the MPN by way of the NigmaClient or reverse proxy - perfect for remote and/or mobile users.
2. The on-premises Fognigma Gateway which enhances existing networks, regardless of topology, by assuring all data transferred from the network is routed through a Fognigma MPN.
3. The Fognigma Wicket provides a portable Gateway-like device that provides MPN functionality for small office/home office (SOHO) environments.
MPN hybrid cloud environments facilitate interagency and multilateral collaboration between organizations without sacrificing security. Furthermore, Fognigma and its associated components are device agnostic working on any desktop, laptop, or mobile device, alleviating the need for additional organizational implementation costs.
Fognigma’s secure MPNs offer variety, anonymity, scalability, and availability of resources through any civilian infrastructure capable of data transmission, trusted or untrusted, allowing users unparalleled freedom of movement in the accomplishment of their mission.
Fognigma’s globally available, virtual point-of-presence provides for the inherent obfuscation of activities while mitigating an adversary’s ability to detect and attack the network. Organizations define the MPN, selecting the preferred cloud providers and entry and exit points, ensuring that each SDN instance is specific to the unit’s needs and mission.
Fognigma component Virtual Desktop Infrastructures (VDI) provide sandboxed Linux or Windows environments capable of incorporating organizationally specific programs. This integration ability facilitates continuity of operations while mitigating risk to the user’s core network, while still applying Fognigma’s intrinsic managed attribution capabilities. Sandboxed VDIs offer full USB compatibility, including CAC readers, printers, keyboards, etc., allowing users to import and export data as required.
All MPN instances are created in real time, as needed, ensuring they have no previous target profile associated with them and, when they are no longer of use, are destroyed and remain forensically undetectable. Using Fognigma’s cyber stealth technology, DoD can greatly enhance its offensive and defensive cyberspace missions worldwide.
