Case Study: NetFoundry achieves zero trust collaboration and secure communications with Mattermost

NetFoundry uses Mattermost with OpenZiti for zero trust internal and external communications

NetFoundry, a software company providing zero trust networking solutions, faced a challenge with its previous collaboration platform, Slack, which did not align with its core principles of open source, security by design, and data sovereignty. As a remote-first company, they needed a resilient solution that would give them complete control over their sensitive messaging data. This led them to seek a new vendor, Mattermost, for their team collaboration needs.

The solution was to implement the self-hosted, open source Mattermost platform. This allowed NetFoundry to integrate their own zero trust technology, OpenZiti and BrowZer, directly into Mattermost, creating a secure hub for both internal and external communications. The results included improved collaboration across their global team and with partners, enhanced out-of-band communications, and the ability to offer zero trust Mattermost instances to their own customers. Mattermost provided the secure, adaptable, and sovereign solution the company required.
