There is a scenario that keeps CISOs and executives awake at night. Not the breach itself, but what happens in the minutes and hours after it. “It’s not if a breach happens, but how you respond when it happens.” Primary systems are down. Email is compromised. The collaboration tools your teams rely on every day are either locked or actively under attacker control. And leadership needs to make decisions that will determine how damaging the attack will be.
This is what Wire was built for.
At Wire, we have always believed that secure communications is not a feature, it is a foundation. Our end-to-end encrypted collaboration platform, powered by the MLS protocol, not only guards your sensitive day-to-day work against breaches and provides a regulation-compliant channel for private, protected data handling, but, when everything else fails, it ensures your team can still communicate, coordinate, and lead.
But a secure communications channel is only as effective as the plan behind it, and the people trained to use it.
Why we partnered with OctopusCRX
That is exactly why we are proud to announce our partnership with OctopusCRX.
OctopusCRX is a global cyber resilience specialist with deep expertise in building the strategic frameworks, decision-making structures, and operational readiness programs that organizations need to survive and recover from serious cyber incidents. They operate across APAC, Europe, and the Middle East, working with enterprises and regulated organizations facing real regulatory pressure from NIS2, DORA, and Australia's mandatory incident reporting regime. Their services go beyond consulting. They help your organization build institutional muscle memory.
What attracted Wire to OctopusCRX was their philosophy. True cyber resilience isn’t about having the right technology sitting on a shelf—it’s about knowing what to do under pressure: who is responsible, how decisions are made, how recovery is prioritised and sequenced, and where critical plans are accessed when primary systems are unavailable. Ultimately, it’s about ensuring the business can respond in a coordinated way that minimises disruption, loss, and risk.
An integrated and practical approach to cyber-resilience
OctopusCRX has developed a structured six-phase methodology and rapid assessment tools that take organizations from resilience assessment through to live scenario exercises. Wire sits at the center of Phase 5: the out-of-band communications environment that ensures crisis teams can coordinate, access response plans, and make decisions even when core systems are degraded.
This is not a bolt-on integration. Wire is configured into the OctopusCRX operating model from day one, with user access, escalation rosters, and pre-loaded response plans built into the platform before an incident ever occurs. When organizations run OctopusCRX scenario exercises, they test Wire as their live crisis channel. By the time a real breach happens, the team is already seasoned in precisely how to respond.
Are you ready?
The threat landscape in 2026 makes this kind of readiness non-negotiable. AI-driven attacks are expected to account for half of all global cyber incidents this year. Supply chain compromises are accelerating. Regulators are holding executives personally accountable for failures. In that environment, organizations cannot afford not to be prepared or to improvise their crisis communications.
Wire gives organizations the confidence that their most sensitive, most time-critical communications will remain private and available, regardless of what attackers do to primary systems. OctopusCRX gives them the architecture and readiness to act decisively on those communications.
Together, we help organizations move from reactive to resilient. Learn more about OctopusCRX and contact us to get moving with this partnership.
