The Department of the Air Force plans to implement a Hypori-developed platform intended to provide personnel with secure mobile access to government applications, unclassified data and Common Access Card-enabled websites.
The Air Force said Tuesday the Hypori Halo Workspace Anywhere application would create a separate and secure virtual workspace from personal phones, tablets or computers of U.S. Air Force and Space Force members and allow them to access email, NIPRNet and other government apps while ensuring user privacy.
It also wouldn’t download or store data on employees’ phones to eliminate risks from compromised, lost, or stolen devices.
“Our Airmen and Guardians are the core of our national security advantage,” said Venice Goodwine, chief information officer of DAF and a 2024 Wash100 awardee. “In our dynamic environment, the Department of the Air Force is committed to providing user-friendly enterprise solutions which empower the force to work securely in a wide range of operational contexts.”
The mobile app will enable global connectivity and will be available in Summer 2024 from any iOS, Android, or Windows-based device, following a pilot program with the Department of the Army to research the adoption of Hypori Halo, the same app-based offering.
