Fast Company Highlights Nooks as the Future of Secure Collaboration
A recent Fast Company article explores the urgent need for faster innovation in national security – and cites Nooks as a key solution helping the defense ecosystem move faster.
The Need to Redefine SCIF Access
Traditionally, startups seeking to work with the Department of Defense face major barriers to entering the classified space. Fast Company outlines how this bottleneck forces teams to work with fake data, delaying real progress in fast-moving fields like AI and unmanned systems.
What Fast Company Reports
-
Obsolete Before You Begin: Defense startups often wait years for access – by then, their technology may already be outdated.
-
Barriers to Entry: SCIFs are expensive, slow to build, and typically locked behind large primes or government ownership.
-
Growing Demand: As the DoD ramps up funding for emerging tech, demand for secure, flexible space is outpacing traditional solutions.
