News Summary:
On June 22, 2026, Tehama discussed a self-custody model that removes vendor trust from the equation, where the compliance boundary lives within a client's own cloud tenancy and the client holds all encryption keys, audit logs, and identity credentials, thus changing the relationship with a security vendor and the audit posture. Previously, on June 14, 2026, the company addressed "The Scope Trap," identifying that the biggest barrier to CMMC certification for defense contractors is a network too large and interconnected to audit cleanly, rather than a missing security tool. Earlier in June, on the 1st, Tehama highlighted the importance of architecture over adoption in determining the outcome of Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) implementations, noting that SASE has progressed from concept to expectation and many enterprises have begun or completed adoption. This followed an April 20, 2026, discussion on advanced networking and a "blind spot" in modern security, referring to risks most teams assume are covered despite substantial investments in identity, endpoint protection, and zero-trust access controls over the past decade. In January, on the 15th, Tehama and Dispersive announced a strategic alliance aimed at delivering next-generation secure access and stealth networking, which Tehama CEO Paul Vallée described as creating a new category of end-to-end Zero Trust that isolates data, eliminates attack surfaces, and enables sovereign compliant access across global supply chains.
