______________________________________________

Welcome to the Technical Exchange Meeting (TEM)!

Ridgeline’s Universe Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solution is a novel approach to MA that shapes and routes data through large-scale commercial dataflows, allowing data to stay in-pattern. Ridgeline designed Universe with best-in-breed technologies and techniques, such as post-quantum encryption and zero-trust infrastructure, to withstand intense nation-state scrutiny while providing unparalleled reliability, observability, and control to customers. Universe allows our clients to protect the attribution and appropriately obfuscate associations between disparate user groups and network input mechanisms, while providing secure data-in-transit and 24/7/365 management of network components and threat monitoring. Core components of the Universe solution are as follows:

— Proven Managed Attribution & Connectivity. Universe builds on Ridgeline’s knowledge of the U.S. Intelligence Community (USIC) and Department of Defense (DoD) accredited managed attribution and core services. Our approach exceeds industry standards and employs multi-layered cryptography across all network components.

— Compromise-Resistant by Design. Universe uses a “mission enclave” approach that employs automation to provision network partitions for a single area of operation, type of organization, mission, or use case. Mission enclaves can be rapidly built, scaled, or torn down as requirements and threats evolve. This approach ensures there are no cascading effects from user or device compromises.

— Unlimited Ability to Scale. Universe has the ability to scale to unlimited users and mission enclaves, with flexible user group segmentation that enables unilateral, bilateral, or multilateral use cases.

— Transport-agnostic Infrastructure. Universe is designed to work with any IP-enabled infrastructure, including commercial cellular, Wi-Fi, satellite, Line-of-Sight (LOS), mobile ad hoc networks (MANET), RF systems, private cellular, terrestrial networks, and secure LANs.

— Continuity of Operations (COOP) Resilience. Universe provides continued services in the event of intentional or unintentional denial of Internet and cellular connectivity. Network services can be implemented to maintain data sharing in an edge processing environment by transitioning from Cloud services to physical local hardware.
