This blog post is included in our Oracle Defense Ecosystem member spotlight series.
As the demand for sovereign infrastructure[1] increases due to increasing geopolitical uncertainty, so does the need for AI solutions that are deployable in sovereign cloud environments. For defense missions, sovereign AI solutions are vital for the modern, multi-domain battlefield, as delivering quick, actionable intelligence directly to decision makers can be the difference between mission success and mission failure. That’s where Oracle Defense Ecosystem member Mattermost comes in. Mattermost’s suite of secure collaboration tools provides real-time cross communication across a variety of devices and cloud environments to teams globally. Purpose-built for government and defense agencies required to adhere to security and privacy requirements, Mattermost helps organizations collaborate in real-time while helping to protect sensitive data and accelerate decision-making without sacrificing sovereignty or security.
Providing continuity of operations across networks from command and control (C2) to the tactical edge in denied, disrupted, intermittent, and limited (DDIL) environments, Mattermost is deployable across Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), including in Oracle’s air-gapped regions for sovereign and classified workloads, Oracle Compute Cloud at Customer, and Roving Edge Infrastructure.
Mattermost and Oracle: a shared commitment to sovereignty
Amid rapid technological change, including the increased drive toward sovereign infrastructure, it’s becoming increasingly clear that mission owners must change the way they execute their operations. Filling the product gap for agencies seeking a sovereign, secure way to instantly collaborate across systems, Mattermost helps government and defense teams efficiently track projects and mission operations, updated in real time with consistent situational awareness, no matter where the mission is. Currently, Mattermost has helped hundreds of governments and enterprises with their sovereign collaboration needs, including improving the US Air Force’s information availability by 4x.
Launched in June 2025, the Oracle Defense Ecosystem welcomed Mattermost in its inaugural cohort of members. The Oracle Defense Ecosystem is a collection of defense-oriented technology innovators offering their solutions to help advance the national security of the US and its allies. Mattermost’s commitment to sovereignty aligns with Oracle’s sovereign cloud offerings to government and defense customers, helping them securely run workloads while addressing security and compliance requirements.
Mission success requires mission-critical communication
Ultimately, Mattermost is all about reducing mean times to action, intel, resolution, and incident response. With Mattermost, teams can leverage integrated sovereign AI capabilities to:
- Receive instant, real-time intel alerts, informing personnel about key events in an area
- Summarize alerts and provide an SOP response, including instructions for immediate actions and defensive measures
- Instantly generate briefing documents targeted to a specific rank in the chain of command
- Run playbooks for specific missions to help mitigate evolving threats and pull all required personnel together in one channel
- Run mission briefings with essential personnel and record audio calls with screenshare directly in the platform
- Create a meeting summary to send to relevant teams
- Recorded calls and meeting summaries are persistent, accessible by other personnel who may join the operations team at a later date
- Immediately translate messages into another language, enabling immediate communication with international teams, reducing the likelihood of language barriers
- Plan and prepare for potential adverse weather events with the weather tool
Mattermost automatically audits the activity in the platform, which operations teams can use to create after action reports (AARs) to address compliance requirements.
Additionally, running Mattermost on OCI, customers can experience:
- OCI’s accredited cloud regions, including:
- US Government Cloud, authorized at Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) High
- US Defense Cloud, authorized at Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Impact Level (IL) 2, IL4, and IL5
- Air-gapped Oracle National Security Regions, authorized at IL6 and Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) 503
- UK Sovereign Cloud, which maintains UK Police Assured Secure Facilities (PASF) accreditation and aligns with the security principles outlined by the UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC)
- Zero trust security model with enhanced security features
- Automated scaling and load balancing capabilities
- Native integration with OCI Identity and Access Management
- Consistent performance with end-to-end SLAs
- Transparent global pricing, with no price increase for higher security classification environments
Oracle and Mattermost deliver a secure, mission-ready foundation for real-time operations while keeping your data under your control. Further, Mattermost is a secured open source platform, meaning mission owners can see the source code, allowing for a human-in-the loop for validating integrations and connected applications, while knowing the software supply chain is transparent, hardened, and monitored.
Mattermost: beyond the battlefield
In addition to providing AI-powered mission operations for government and defense agencies, Mattermost is helping customers outside of these organizations. These use cases include:
- Cybersecurity: streamline incident response and red team operations with playbooks
- DevSecOps: boost developer productivity and platform engineering, automate change notifications and release coordination, reducing mean time to repair (MTTR)
- Public safety: enable multi-agency coordination with role-based channels for sharing images, maps, and files; push alerts pulled from multiple sensors to on-call teams
