AI is now embedded inside most collaboration platforms — and that means sensitive operational data is already being read by vendor‑controlled models. Our new post explains why sovereign AI fails without securing the environment where work actually happens.
Highlights:
- The collaboration layer is the biggest blind spot in AI cybersecurity.
- Hidden risks: data poisoning, prompt injection, and agent lateral movement.
- A clear framework for deploying sovereign AI securely.
- How Mattermost keeps AI inside your boundary with self‑hosting, ABAC, MCP, and customer‑owned audit logs.

How are defence and intelligence teams strengthening secure collaboration as operations become more distributed, data‑driven, and coalition‑oriented?
We'll be at the Oracle Defence Tech Summit in Brussels on 25 June to explore exactly that. As leaders from across NATO, government, and industry gather to discuss the future of mission‑ready technology, we’ll be highlighting how secure, self‑hosted collaboration accelerates decision‑making in classified, hybrid, and multinational environments.
If you’re attending, we’d welcome the opportunity to connect and discuss how secure collaboration can enhance your operational advantage.

AI demos are easy. AI your team can actually use, with governance, context, and accountability, is the hard part. That’s exactly what the new Mattermost Agents V2 delivers.
In our latest blog, Nick Misasi breaks down how Agents V2 turns AI from a clever chat moment into a repeatable, team‑owned operating model.
Agents V2 isn’t about “more AI.” It’s about usable AI, the kind that fits how real teams work under real pressure.

We're wrapping up an incredible week at the @Gartner_inc Security & Risk Management Summit, and we’re closing strong with something you won’t want to miss — the Mattermost Experience, our hands‑on, interactive demo built for high‑stakes, mission‑critical teams.
Stop by Booth 303 on the final day to dive into how secure, self‑hosted collaboration actually feels when it’s purpose‑built for operational resilience, AI governance, and real‑time coordination.
It’s fast. It’s interactive. And it’s the best way to see why organizations with the highest security requirements rely on Mattermost.
Swing by Booth 303 before the summit wraps, we’d love to show you what’s possible.

Today we're highlighting Daniel Schalla, our Head of Security, shares how AI transformation is reshaping his work: faster idea‑to‑execution, fewer repetitive tasks, and a sharper focus on strategy and resilience.
He sees AI’s biggest advantage in decision velocity, helping teams act faster without sacrificing control. In mission‑critical environments, AI amplifies human judgment rather than replacing it, and the real shift is moving from “using tools” to designing AI‑enabled systems with sovereignty and governance built in.
We hope you enjoy.

Happening today at TechNet Cyber — don’t miss Bill Anderson, our Principal Product Manager, as he tackles one of the biggest blind spots in modern cyber operations:
The collaboration layer is now the AI risk no one is governing.
As AI accelerates decision‑making and mission workflows, the real exposure is showing up in the everyday conversations, handoffs, and cross‑team coordination that adversaries increasingly target. Bill breaks down why collaboration platforms have become a critical attack surface — and what leaders can do to secure and govern them.
If you’re onsite, make time for this session and stop by the Mattermost booth to continue the conversation with our team.

We’re filming live at the Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit, and Victor Hernandez, our Senior Solution Architect just tackled a critical question for every security and operations leader:
“What’s the one thing your team can’t afford to get wrong when collaboration becomes part of your control plane?”
Victor is onsite throughout the Summit, so if you’re attending, stop by Booth 303 to continue the conversation, ask questions, or dive deeper into how secure, self‑hostable collaboration strengthens your control plane.
Watch the video and come meet Victor at the booth tomorrow.

Taking Command of AI in Security Operations: Designing for Sovereignty, Resilience, and Control
with Principal Product Manager Bill Anderson and CMO @LeighDow
AI is accelerating every layer of security operations — but too many architectures still sacrifice control for speed. In high‑stakes environments, that tradeoff fails. Today’s session breaks down how to build AI‑enabled security operations that deliver both

David H., our Director of Solutions, Federal, is bringing a critical reality to the forefront: Zero Trust only works if it survives the edge.
David’s session at AFCEA International TechNet Cyber, “Zero Trust at the Tactical Edge: Enforcing Policy in Contested and Disconnected Battlespace,” digs into how DISA, the DoD, and industry can push identity, access control, and continuous authentication out to the edge while keeping C2 and JADO operational even when links are unstable or severed.
He’ll explore what it means to treat Zero Trust not as a centralized service, but as a distributed warfighting capability built for modern conflict.
If you’re at TechNet Cyber, come join the discussion shaping the next generation of secure, resilient operations.

Digital sovereignty has climbed the stack for a decade, but Leigh Marshall Dow’s new piece shows the next frontier isn’t cloud or AI, it’s the collaboration platform. The place where incidents are coordinated, decisions are made, and AI‑assisted workflows run is now part of the sovereign control plane. Most strategies still stop at infrastructure, leaving a gap in the very layer where operational coordination actually happens.
As AI accelerates and regulated environments tighten, the real question becomes: who governs the environment where consequential decisions are made?
