Connecting the armed forces so they can share data across services offers more informed decision-making in the heat of battle.

In this webcast, Defense News explores the best practices in balancing security and data, including access control protocols, Zero Trust and other tools that can help ensure that data is both trustworthy and available to those who need it.
