What followed was nearly 6 months of "support", first claiming that it might be a server side issue and moving me "to a new host" (Feb 17) then when that didn't resolve my issue, they ignored me for a couple of months then handed me over to an engineer (Apr 28) who told me: "we may have your uploads running at the maximum speed we can offer you at the moment. I did some test uploads to other services (Google Drive, Amazon) to verify that things were fine with my connection (they were) and then contacted support (Feb 10).

According to my Mac's activity monitor, SpiderOak was only uploading in short bursts of ~2MB/s. I had access to a symmetric gigabit fibre connection so I connected, set up the SpiderOak client and started uploading.

Having several hundred gigabytes of photos to backup I took advantage and bought a year long subscription ($129). In February 2016, SpiderOak dropped its pricing to $12/month for 1TB of data. Their service is unreliable and slow, their client is horrible to work with and their support is disgraceful. Shouldn’t you? Learn more about our subscription options, and keep up with every move in the IC contracting space.I still won't trust SpiderOak with my data. Jointly we are enabling a foundational layer of commercial industry and allied capabilities to ensure our national security is protected from the ground and from space.” “We are thrilled to be selected by DIU and SWAC and partnered with York Space Systems to secure this mission and we are very much looking forward to working with the other companies selected to support the entire Hybrid Space Architecture into the future. “Warfighters have identified cyber-attacks as the ‘soft underbelly’ of the satellites on which we depend for our defense and modern life,” said John Moberly, senior vice president for space, SpiderOak.

OrbitSecure will demonstrate an enhanced space-domain cyber resilience even when network hardware or application software has been compromised. SpiderOak’s zero-trust OrbitSecure software was developed for 21st century space needs and is also backward compatible to the Space Force’s existing on-orbit constellations. SpiderOak’s contract with DIU is in collaboration with the United States Space Force Space Warfighting Analysis Center (SWAC). SpiderOak will demonstrate its OrbitSecure zero-trust software suite on-orbit to support DIU’s development of a scalable architecture capable of communicating across government and commercial networks, while also remaining trusted and relevant in a dynamic threat environment. With escalating threats from China and Russia, it is more critical than ever to ensure secure global, ubiquitous, and hybrid connectivity throughout the space domain for commercial, civil, and military users, including international allies and partners.
Congress has begun referring to as the “Outernet” through legislation.Īs commercial space companies continue delivering increasingly innovative capabilities at an unprecedented rate, the Pentagon grows more eager to incorporate these technologies while securing and defending these hybrid (mixed commercial and government) networks across multiple domains. The project will demonstrate end-to-end cybersecurity for the Department of Defense’s future Hybrid Space Architecture, an initiative the U.S. Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to deliver the company’s OrbitSecure zero-trust protocol on-orbit. On November 2, SpiderOak of Lenexa, KS announced that it has been awarded a contract by the U.S.
