Our Reading

The launch follows a familiar script.

Mythos 5 promises secure cloud computing for sensitive government data. It’s cleared for use by over 100 companies and government agencies. That includes their non-American employees. Because nothing says “secure” like a foreign employee having access to sensitive government data. Meanwhile, the rest of us are still waiting for a secure way to store our own data.
