Collaboration helps defense industrial base customers secure regulated data in Google Workspace

WASHINGTON, April 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Qanapi, a global data security and encryption key management provider, today announced a strategic partnership with ATX Defense, a cybersecurity company serving the defense industrial base. Through this partnership, ATX Defense will integrate Qanapi’s Key Management Service (KMS) into its flagship CMMC Space product—enabling users to securely and compliantly collaborate in Google Workspace with client-side encryption (CSE).

Collaboration empowers defense contractors to secure sensitive data in Google Workspace.

Qanapi’s simple, cost-effective integration allows organizations to maintain exclusive control over encryption keys, ensuring sensitive data in Google Docs, Sheets, Slides and other Workspace products, remains fully protected—even from the platform provider. The solution meets key requirements for handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) under CMMC 2.0, empowering organizations to stay compliant while maintaining workflow efficiency.

“Our mission at ATX Defense is to make robust cybersecurity and CMMC compliance practical and accessible for every company supporting our nation’s defense,” said Zach Walker, Co-Founder of ATX Defense. “Integrating Qanapi’s powerful client-side encryption into CMMC Space is a critical step forward. It allows our clients to securely handle CUI within the familiar Google Workspace environment, giving them exclusive control over their encryption keys without sacrificing the collaborative tools they depend on daily.”

“Provisioning key management services has traditionally been a major hurdle for client-side solutions—especially for SMEs,” said Trent Telford, CEO & Founder of Qanapi. “Our KMS, which can be deployed within minutes with no engineering required, is a game changer for Google Workspace administrators. ATX Defense has entrusted us to deliver scalable, easily implemented solutions that uplift their customers’ security posture without added complexity or overhead.”

By combining Qanapi’s modern encryption capabilities with ATX Defense’s secure collaboration environment, the partnership delivers a powerful solution that meets the compliance needs of organizations across the defense supply chain.

NANCHANG, China, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A report from Jiangxi International Communication Center (JXICC): The year 2026 marks the 400th anniversary of the birth of Bada Shanren. He was an outstanding master of Chinese calligraphy and painting. His works are treasures of traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting, embodying profound Chinese aesthetics and humanistic heritage, and exerting a far-reaching influence on international art.

Recently, the Event for the 400th Birth Anniversary of Bada Shanren “The Cosmos as Inner Heart: International Youth Step Into Bada Shanren’s World of Art” was held in Qingyunpu District, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province— the hometown of Bada Shanren. Chinese and foreign youth representatives and guests from 19 countries and regions including the United States, Russia, Morocco, Turkmenistan and the Republic of Korea participated.

Brushstrokes Without Borders: A Cross-Cultural Art Dialogue

Four hundred years of ink transcends borders. Even with different cultural backgrounds and languages, people can transcend cultural differences and feel the resonance brought by art. Khollii, a Tajik student studying in Jiangxi, was captivated by the distinctive charm of Bada Shanren’s artworks and shared her story about brushstrokes, “This powerful personal expression aligns closely with the pursuit of individuality in Western modern art.”

Bada Shanren’s 400-Year-Old Inner Story Unfolds to Twin Students

Mexican twin international students Luis and Erick are studying in Jiangxi. At first, they were confused by Bada Shanren’s paintings, depicting fish and birds with upturned eyes amid expansive blank spaces. After learning about the artist’s life, they sensed the unyielding emotion in his brushwork. They hope to act as a cultural bridge, sharing the timeless charm of this Jiangxi master’s art with global audiences.

Why We Still Appreciate Bada Shanren’s Works Today

Why do we still appreciate Bada Shanren’s works today? As a foreigner, Mickie from Panama has her answer. To understand Bada Shanren’s works do not need mastery of classical Chinese, thorough knowledge of the complex history of the Ming Dynasty, or deep research into every detail of his life. “Simply feeling the emotions conveyed in his paintings can spark a spiritual dialogue across hundreds of years.”
